Stop MPs from receiving a 2.7% payrise
MPs are to receive a 2.7% pay rise from April, taking their salary to £79,468.
When homeless numbers & use of food banks are at an all time high. Families struggling and schools/hospitals/Emergency Services are screaming out for funding this should not be allowed!
The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority said it had committed to changing MPs' pay in line with public-sector earnings.
Its figures show the basic salary paid to MPs will have risen by £13,730 since April 2010.
The rise follows a 1.8% rise last year, 1.4% in 2017, 1.3% in 2016 and a large hike, from £67,000 to £74,000, in 2015.
Ipsa was handed control of decisions over MPs' pay.
