Ha ha ha arrogant twats. No cash for MOD, NHS or police&fire service!!! MPs are braced for a major public backlash as a deal that would see their pay soar by almost £10,000 is unveiled. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) is expected on Thursday to propose a rise to around £75,000 – but offset it with a crackdown on perks such as dinners on expenses. The existing final salary pension scheme is also set to be downgraded to a career average system, clawing back some of the millions of pounds in extra salary. The regulator is likely to argue that overall the new package will only be a few hundred thousand pounds a year more costly for the public purse. But the prospect of a pay hike is certain to prompt public fury with memories of expenses abuses still fresh, and the rest of the country suffering austerity. David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg have already urged restraint and are widely expected to reject the extra cash themselves. However, they would need to change the law to prevent Ipsa pushing the rise through, and such a move would be very unlikely to succeed with most backbenchers convinced they are underpaid.
