This is an interesting topic to research on Twitter/X. We’re sure the taxpaying public will understand.

MPs are in line for 7.1% pay rise to £92,700 in April – with tax-free daily allowance for peers set to hit £366 – after bumper public sector settlements

MPs are in line for a 7.1 per cent pay rise in April after a series of bumper public sector settlements.
The metric usually used to set politicians’ salaries would see them rise by more than £6,000 to £92,731.
Peers are also on track for a big windfall, with their tax-free daily ‘attendance allowance’ likely to be increased by the same proportion, from £342 to £366.
The hike would be the highest for MPs since their salaries were dramatically boosted in a review in 2015, and could be controversial as CPI inflation is running at 4.9 per cent and expected to be falling further next Spring.
It is larger than the 5 per cent award for most NHS staff this year, although that was accompanied by lump sums.
The Commons watchdog will not confirm the pay increase for MPs until the New Year, and does have wriggle room to adjust the level.
In Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) spokesman said: ‘The IPSA Board will make a decision in the New Year.’
Ipsa was given control of politicians’ salaries after the credit crunch, and the watchdog has linked increases to a specific metric on changes in average public sector earnings for October.
That figure has come in at 7.1 per cent, having dipped sharply from the 12.5 per cent recorded in August.
The House of Lords has committed to following the uprating used by the Commons.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
