I agree Matto. The outrage will be manufactured in typical Express fashion. But the Government has the Government not proposed public sector pay freezes across the board) If so why are MPs exempt?
Isn’t it something to do with them not having a pay rise in years and so being forced to pay for their duck houses via expenses?
Terrible timing, and I don’t by the way they say that their pay should reflect that of high flying business types at all – but this rise was mentioned yonks ago as far as I can remember.
The cost of this pay rise to the tax-payer, whether real or made-up bollocks, will still be minimal compared with, amongst others, Ashcroft’s tax-dodging, but does this make the front page?
Mick Ashcroft is not a tax dodger.He is a patriot ,dedicated to
making this downtrodden country great again as in the glorious Thatcher years.so what’s wrong with fiddling a few million here and there?
Ashcroft funds the centre right opposition parties of every country he does business in.
Australia, New Zealand, Belize, UK
I realise the party line, that the tory press office sent out to it’s activists to post on message boards is:
“Ashcroft is a charity giving, hero, who gave all of his VC medals to the British museum”.
He’s not. His patriotism stretches to the fact that he refuses to even like in the UK, or pay taxes in the country.
And his donations to the tories are for little more than a desire to personally have political influence in the country, so he can set policy for himself.
The pay rise takes effect April 1st, not NOW.
It’s a NOW story.
It’s going to lead to FURY.
But Tory MPs will refuse to take it. eh!
Carpet Madness – This is what happens when the average Express reader starts chewing the floor covering.
This is a little disgusting in my view, espically as the public sector aren’t and I’m going lose my job earlier than my FTA contract suggested.
Mind you, I think several pressure groups over the last 200 years have unveiled the vile trade in bears, so not really a story is it

ANOTHER way to increase severance pay for those who will lose their seats………. ‘And guess who pays’!?
