Whining MPs want pay rise.

GREEDY MPs want a massive £12,000 rise — on top of their £60,000 pay and huge expenses.

And long-serving backbenchers — who often occupy safe seats but achieve very little — want even MORE to reward their time-serving.

Jack Straw, leader of the Commons, yesterday said the claims will be part of a salary review.

He announced MPs would get a two per cent rise in the next year, but that merely led to the new demands.

Tory MP Sir Nicholas Winterton told Mr Straw that MPs’ pay is 20 per cent behind jobs used for official comparison.

He said: “Will that encourage good, competent, able, intelligent people to put their name forward to come to be members of this House?â€

If they vote that in I'm contacting CWU and withdrawing my political subs - I know its not a lot but they want Nurses, Fireman, Servicemen and Police to take less than 3% and then they want 20%. Then they wonder why BNP and others are starting to get more and more votes.


I'm emailing my MP
