Edit The BBC do a evil thing where if a story changes they don't acutally make it a new story just change the old one. So in this case the below link now tells you the good news that the MP's rejected the whole give our selves 4.4% payrises thing. Good for them.

Now I would write to my MP about this. But as I did yesterday to apologise for my previous emails I thought I'd let him rest (until Saturday when he's got a surgery that is) and he's not going to be at the debate anyway. But how does your MP feel about the idea for getting an above inflation pay rise? Because they might be having problems with their £60K and expenses, especially as they are apparently going to have to provide proof of expenses and such.

See, personally I think this would be a wonderful chance for them to practice what they preach, suck up a teeny tiny pay rise (or even none, £60K is really quite a lot of money) to try and make it easy for everyone else in the country to accept the below inflation pay rises they want us to take in order to fix the terrible cock up their good friends in the financial sector have created by lending money to everyone in sight...

But that's just me.
