They are all in it together.

What about the rest of us?

Senior MPs could be in line for their THIRD bumper pay rise in a year.

Around 80 members who also help chair committee meetings and debates are set to get the eye-watering wage hike.

Half are in line for an extra £3,700 a year – the other half could see up to £15,000 more in their pay packets.

Chairs – who lead meetings of the influential groups – already get up to £15,000 on top of the £74,000 they get for being an MP, depending on their length of service.

In April, all MPs are in line for a 1.3% increase in their basic salary – which is already more than three times the national average.

    That national average mike of £25’000 is way off the mark i live near gatwick airport whose average salary is only around £16’000 per year

    my youngest daughter lives and works in central London and only the likes of her skills get £25’000 or over

    there are more people in the uk in work full time who will earn much less then £25’000 then people over £25’000

    UK’s benefit claimants are dying, through suicide and starvation, because of the draconian welfare reforms, while their MPs are behaving like pigs at the trough.
