MPs bumper salary boost ‘double rise of exhausted NHS workers’ – reactions

The Government will try to compare MP’s 2.9% pay rise to all the other public servants.

But Nurses/Paramedics don’t get free food, accommodation, travel, energy, mobile phones and contracts, free internet, free tv subscriptions…

“We can’t bake in inflation” says Education Secretary Gillian Keegan after MP’s have slapped themselves on the back with a £2,200 a year pay rise and uncapped bonuses for millionaire bankers

Guess who doesn't need to Strike to get a £2,200 pay rise this year? Of course it's the very UK MP's, who are banning strikes to keep UK workers on the Poverty line.
I Guess their £85,000 a year, + all the shady Donations + all their expenses paid for, is just hard to get by on pic.twitter.com/aXhpIn7EAD

If MP’s get a £2k pay rise for 'dramatically increased' duties last year”, what the hell do NHS staff and Teachers deserve? !!!

If you're an MP who's received a 28% pay rise since 2010, and have your meals subsidised by the taxpayer, you're in no position to lecture a nurse who, since 2010, earns £5,000 less in real-terms about pay restraint. There's plenty of money; it's just going to the wrong places.

Has any Uk Journalist ask the following?
In 2010 MP’s pay was £65,738.
In 2022 MP’s pay was £84,144.
That’s almost a 28% pay rise.
Why is it during that time, Teachers, Firefighters and Nurses pay has fallen by 13%?

Fine – then they should stop all expenses/subsidies related to food, drink, heating, second homes and furnishing them.

transport, staff and office expenses only – like every other business does.

Nurses have to pay to park at the hospitals they work. Meanwhile "MPs can claim for rent or hotel accommodation as well as expenses for a second home if they are not already receiving rent free London accommodation" https://t.co/LRWXlgQYRj

Pay rise confirmed for MP’s. Absolutely fucking shameless.
