Chances of Boris telling those nurses who looked after him during his Covid that they ain’t getting a rise, fat boris chance. Yet we award contracts worth billions to dildo and co and employ a 100 year old former veteran to raise money for the nhs. Slap for carers more like.
An MP's basic salary was £81,932 last year (figure courtesy of the BBC; expenses, allowances and any staffing costs are on top of this).

Their pay increases are worked out using a formula which takes public sector pay increases into account. Using this formula MP's were inline for a £3,000 pay for 2021.

However, this year's prospective pay rise was vetoed last year. I have no idea when they're due another pay review but I am of the opinion that my MP, his wife (also an MP) and his son (yes, also an MP) are on one hell of a screw.

For the record I wouldn't trust my MP to change a lightbulb never mind a surgical dressing.
