Not A Penny Off The Pay

I would not increase MPs' pay this year, but I am profoundly wary of these public promises to give it away.

Where will that end? With extremely wealthy people (not all of them in one party) promising to be MPs for free? The trade union rate for the job, say I.

Although they are not underpaid at the moment. I do not know what inherited wealth Diane Abbott ever came off or came by, but she still sent her son to a private school.
