22ANDUK is just starting out
Default "MPs Pay Could Exceed £100,000"

The pay of MPs could soon exceed £100,000 if their second homes allowance is replaced with a block grant. The Commons has drawn up three options for overhauling the expenses system through which MPs claimed large sums for new kitchens, furniture and even gardeners.

MPs could get pay jump to £101,000 a year - UK Politics, UK - The Independent

And????? Plenty of people (doctors, solicitors, barristers, judges, senior police officers, senior armed forces personnel) earn in excess of £100,000 a year.

It really is not that much anymore. Besides there is only 500 MPs so its £50 million out of a budget of hundreds of billions!

Ok 100K it is BUT NO other jobs and you're working at least 46 weeks of the year 5 days a week, and part of the pay is performance related voted for by your constituents and you can only be an MP after having a real job in the real world and can only be in for 10 years max
