MPs pay

Yesterday morning’s papers had a fair bit of coverage on the 1.5% pay rise that has been recommended for MPs by the Senior Salary Review Body.

Like last year, I won’t be accepting this pay-rise, or an increase in my Ministerial salary.

At a time when many people in Tooting and throughout the country are having to accept pay freezes I don’t think it’s appropriate for MPs to accept a pay-rise.

As a collective MPs need to rebuild trust in the political system, and cut the cost of ‘doing politics’ – I don’t think accepting a pay-rise at this moment in time would aid these causes at all.
