Quick! MP's need a Salary increase

[Porfre]

According to long serving Tory MP Sir Peter Bottomley, his colleagues are suffering.

They're finding it difficult to survive on their MP salary of £82,000.

They need a Salary increase to £100,000, because of all their hard work.

How can you argue with that?

YABU- They dont deserve a salary increase.
YANBU - Of course their salary should be increased!

They are taking the fucking piss.

Please replace mp with nurse.

Or social worker.

It is a difficult one because the current bunch are largely useless, but why would anyone with the skills become an MP? My husband and I both earn twice an MPs salary, more than the PM, our jobs might be skilled and require hard work, but they are not in the private eye.

If you pay £80k a year for MPs you get people who are worth £80k per year. Personally I want the best and brightest being MPs, not a collection of people who were too incompetent to survive in private business or who bullied their way to senior positions in unions running our country.

This is so true. Most MPs could never survive in a real job in a real business or corporation. MPs are largely of a mediocre calibre, and that’s being too generous too.
