The Daily Mirror yesterday quoted the Taxpayers' Alliance recent investigation of MP's salaries.
Some of us have heard their bleats that they applied for large expenses because they were poor;y paid at £64,766 for a back-bencher. To this should be added heavily subsidised meals and drink at the House of Commons, the ability to buy a house on mortgage without paying all the mortgage
The investigation showed that this level of pay is higher than 95% of all full time earnings. (Somehow the mirror claims this puts them in the top 3%.)
This does not seem low when we remember that they work very often two full days and two part days each week, and little more than 30 weeks in the year.
It seems that public service is not sufficient and they want a salary in line with their own inflated valuation of their importance.
