Ministers pay rise?

Question

£1,400 a year pay rise. Is that OK?

Answer 1

ask God

Answer 2

I believe the rise is 4.4% so it's only OK if MP's generally have been 4.4% more useful this year than last Otherwise what's it for ??

Answer 3

Let's be real; on this occasion they are taking an effective pay cut as inflation (the official figure) is 3.3% - anecdotal evidence on the High Street suggests it's nearer to 5%.

Answer 4

Obviously !

It take quite some arseholes to ***** up this country as they do.

They deserve a pay rise for the consistancy they show at making a misery to the life of the hard working class !

Answer 5

Note to Alan H, the ministerial pay rise has been turned down, you are correct. However they still get the standard MPs rise. Ministerial rises are on top of MPs pay. Oh and they have given themselves 7% over the next three years------ON TOP OF ANYTHING THEY GET AS MPS.

Check out the link £1400 wont begin to look at the rise they're getting.

Righto chaps snouts in the trough altogether now oink oink!

Answer 6

It is disgusting!The sooner it is sorted out the better!!

Answer 7

Yes this government deserve every penny if not more??

I work an average of 102 hours per week, i haven't had a day off in 50 years! after paying all my taxes and bills i am left with 18 pence, under the Tory government i was left with 11 pence!!

The 7 pence difference per week has greatly improved my life style. We have calculated that if my wife and i can stay alive until we are 3oo years old? we will have saved enough money to go to Blackpool!

Answer 8

of course look at the stress they are under. (NOT)

Answer 9

Cabinet Ministers have taken ZERO pay rise.    But do not let the facts spoil your argument.

Answer 10

Only if you performed a miracle lately
