Fury as MPs salaries soar to mind-boggling £94k after pay rise – despite record-high tax hitting hard-working Brits MPs pay will soar to £93,904 next year as Commons bosses recommend a hike of more than £2,000.
The 2.8 per cent rise - which is above the rate of inflation - was branded “a bitter pill to swallow” amid pensioners losing their winter fuel payments and farmers taking to the streets again to protest tax hikes.
But the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority who set MPs pay, insisted it "reflects the experience of the wider working public sector population.".
However due to the fact that the anniversary of the July 2024 election falls into the next tax year, the body decided the 2.8 per cent uplift as an "interim measure".
Boss John O’Connell added: “"Pay for politicians should be strictly linked to the country's economic performance, ideally to actual living standards measured by GDP per capita.".
