"You hate the Govt and you hate Tories, we get hot Regulator.

Oh bless - another troll to green box.
And it wasn't a lie. If you rad the article you link to, MPs got their 2020 pay rise - it's the 2021/22 pay rise that's being foregone.
Although this is a vehicle to comment on shares I feel drawn into this debate.
The sooner we radically change the parliamentary system the better. We complain of sleeve then pay salaries that are just too low to attract the type of people that we really want in politics. PM salary should be doubled, he may get other benefits but these are all taxed on his P11D, yes including the rent he may have otherwise paid on the flat. Abolishing or drastically reducing the number of members in the House of Loads seems is an obvious first step but I would go further and reduce the number of MP’s down to 200 ish but then have constituency based representatives perhaps as an apprenticeship for full MP status - paid less but living and working full time in the constituency and acting as a conduit to the MP’s who are based in Parliament full time. Restructure the normal working day of Parliament to a more normal profile and remove the subsidies for attendance. Accept that we should pay from the public purse for the political parties, probably based on the number of votes achieved removing the Conservative Party need for business donors (and the favours this may elicit) and the Labour Party dependency on appeasing their union backers. I could go on but this is probably not the place.

"the PM of New Zealand gets double what we pay!"
Not quite. The NZ PM normally gets about £240k a year - so about 50% more than the UK PM. However, they don't get the same level of additional benefits that the UK PM does.
And in NZ the salaries of both the PM and MPs have been reduced during the Covid period - here in the UK the Tories pushed through a pay rise for MPs.
Etihad?! :)
Manchester United that is.
Think you'll find manchester have the highest wage bill in prem.
It is more than a bit nuts. The Prime Minister of Singapore earns £1.2m per year. The Prime Ministers of Liechtenstein and Luxembourg get paid 50% more than our PM, the PM of New Zealand gets double what we pay! That's without debating non political salaries such as footballers, where the average salary of someone playing for Manchester City is £6.3m pa. and we don't bat an eyelid. This is why our politicians are crap because we do not incentivize people with the right skills to take on a job with terrible hours, constant scrutiny and all sorts of abuse. You would have to be mad to do the job! Boris was being paid 50% more for writing one article a week for the Telegraph than he gets for being PM, how does that make any sense at all.
Why is Boris so underpaid??? £158K when the woman head of the local tin pot council is stuffing a third of a million quid in her suitcase? Maybe Boris has had to come up with some creative ideas to stay solvent
Just a thought!
