The watchdog responsible for monitoring MPs’ pay has said it has found no “material” reason to change the proposal to hand members of parliament a generous 10 percent rise – at a time of pay restraint for civil servants and deep cuts in public services. In other words, there's one rule for them and another for the rest of us.
Despite facing heavy criticism from anti-austerity campaigners the 'Independent' Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) said they could find no reason to stop the planned pay rise from £67,000 to £74,000.
Nice work if you can get it.
