Personally, I think that MPs are underpaid. I’d give them a much higher ‘basic’ salary but get rid of a lot of their expenses. |  | | |

And not to forget they’ll avoid any inflationary pressures as any expenses are kindly picked up by the tax payer.
Nice work if you can get it… |  | | |

A real terms pay cut then.
Not that anyone will call it that because mature debate on such topics is practically impossible. |  | | |

Shocking but they don't vote for it themselves like they used to do. It's done by an independent body who makes these recommendations.
I am not even sure if they are allowed to reject it. |  |

Meh, who cares? The real crime is the NHS and other key workers didn't get the pay rise they deserved. |  |

Absolutely this.
What a bonkers society we live in these days | |

Completely agree with this.
Very much think they are underpaid considering they are representing an entire constituency at the height of UK politics.
Annoys me when people say otherwise, it’s a damn hard job! Not sure I would want that responsibility - and half the country hating me whatever I do - for £84000!
People are just annoyed that they’re not paid more - which depending on the job may be a fair point, but is different to the question of whether MPs are paid enough. | | | |

Agree, but I'd also cut down on the number of them, personally I don't think we need so many. |  |

I'd add in subsidised accommodation in London for those living further out than 'reasonable commuting distance' and travel for those that DO.
Surely there's a couple of Boris' Russian chums who've got enough property going spare to make room?
Anyone who wants to make their own arrangements can fund it themselves. |  |

Pretty much half the rate of inflation. It’s expected that the average wage increase this year will be 3%.
Not much to see here |  |

People do way worse jobs for minimum wage.
You're right that it shouldn't be a race to the bottom, but the 84k is the base. Then there's all the expenses and all the perks on top.
As others have said I'd be OK with them getting more if you remove all the stupid perks they're allowed and definitely if they get rid of the second jobs they somehow manage to do whilst doing apparently a very difficult job. |  |

Inflation is 7% and some graduate jobs in London start on more than MPs. This debate always gets lost between emotion and reality.
Tube drivers are striking and they start on £55k. [Post edited 2 Mar 2022 10:54]
