Cant see what the problem is..
just sounds like petty jealousy..
surely they're worth every penny..?
the freeloading, gravy train riding fuck you your having your independent pay review body scrapped you other public sector employees and you other plebs and oiks should stop moaning about being on benefit even whilst in employment albeit temporary contracts ..

"I could understand the outrage if they'd awarded themselves the pay rise."
any 'outrage' is not actually based on the percentage and any changes within the proposals which will look at several other elements within their whole package..
its the timing which is bollocks, given that 'we' are looking at several further years of austerity 'across the board'..
all in it together blah blah.. |

"I could understand the outrage if they'd awarded themselves the pay rise."
Other bodies have recommended pay rises based on jobs etc. for other public sector workers. Those haven't been implemented. Even the government's own planned and promised rise for nurses was rescinded.
I know the original recommendation was closer to 22% but that meant losing the expenses. As I have said on here before turning down 22% to take 11% and keep expenses tells me just how valuable the expenses are to them.

As I understand it, MPs had no input on the %age, the timing or the principle of the increase.
I've said before I reckon MPs aren't well paid for the job they do. |

I agree with you on the fact that I don't think they are well paid for what they do. I don't think other roles are paid well for what they do either. Others are being capped at 1%, regardless of their worth and that is the perception problem with this pay rise.
MPs were consulted and David Cameron has/had to sign this off. |

The bit about consultation and signing off may be true but the BBC website (not often wrong on such easily checkable facts) says "Ipsa does not need to get the agreement of Parliament to bring in the changes." |

What folk forget is, every single MP is a member of the "whats in it for me" union.
Its not a well paid job for the work they do......
So let them all quit and see how well paid it is in the REAL WORLD. |

All us worker types have to realise the harder you work the less you earn. somewhat like one of the board members at a local employer turning up at work to show off his £170,000 Ferrari on the day 100+ redundancies were announced as a necessity to cut costs.  |

"Yes folks its true your trusted local MP is on for a 11% pay rise while we all pull the belts in another notch "
oh just to add a note Mrs Minxy is a mental health nurse , no pay rise for 4 years and maybe one in 2015 , so with many years or experience 2014 means a new job so like so many in the services ,the expeirence of her skills will be lost to the NHS |

this argument doesn't make any difference to me, i never had a pay rise in 8 years working for a private sector company except for promotions. Anyone in the company that was on NMW got the raises as they came in but they never increased any other pay grade so all that happened was the operators got closer and closer to the management pay. |

The challenge is that they DON'T quit - they try to do both and it's their constituents and parliament which suffer. |

It doesn't - it was given carte blanche when it was set up to get over the whole pay rise/expenses issue. My understanding of IPSA is that it gets a formal sign off from the PM as a sort of instruction to Treasury to make the payments. |
