Before casting your vote tomorrow, please consider this.....
Last year our sitting Tory MP drew a salary of £70,000. In addition he also claimed £200,000 expenses. How can I interpret that as working in the public interest? angry

eazybee I don't think the 2018/19 claims are complete. I don't know when the deadline is.

I don't think an £80k salary is excessive either. I want good MPs, who have the skills and talents to have a senior job. They could easily earn that elsewhere.

Kevin Foster's expenses don't look excessive to me. Not only will he have four or five staff (or equivalent), but he'll have to pay for employer pension and NIC contributions and the staff's own expenses.
