😕 That wasn't today according to what you have posted - it was July last year.
And contrary to your claim MPs don't get a vote on their pay. That's the whole point - people don't think MPs should be allowed to vote on such matters, so they don't anymore.
And yes, last year they did turn up to debate the issue in the House of Commons, all three parties were united in their opposition to Ipsa's proposed MPs pay rise.

Damn you and your facts Ernie
Ultimately we all want clever and capable people within the ranks of our political elite. Have we got that at the moment? I don't think so. The clever and capable people are all off raking it in doing something else. Maybe if we paid a sensible salary for the role then we'd attract the sorts of people we want to represent us.
I know what a senior manager in the NHS earns and its more than a politician on the cabinet, so by that comparisons it seems to me politicians are underpaid, and in the comparison of the senior NHS manager I know and their role, the is PM significantly underpaid. You couldn't pay me enough to be the PM, its an impossible job. Also compared with cretins like Bob Crow whose ripping union members and taxpayers alike off to the tune of £140k per year and a council house that could be used to house a family in genuine need.

so it's ok for an independent body to recommend an MP's pay rise but not for an independent body to recommend an extra 0.5% pay rise for the forces. Just says it all
