Pretty much everyone in the country could complain that they aren't paid as much as City types so why do MPs think they're so hard done by?

@JuliaHB1 I think it's important to compare with other jobs of similar responsibility eg MPs responsibilities exceed GPs yet paid less. -
@make_trouble rubbish! GPs train for years to do their job. MPs don't even need a GCSE! -
@JuliaHB1 GPs can't vote to send us to war. -
@make_trouble stupid non-point implying MPs, like GPs, make decisions based on expertise. They don't -
@JuliaHB1 no need to be rude. I disagree MPs are not expected to have expertise, otherwise why not have them serve by random lot as juries? -
@make_trouble I wasn't being rude. -
@JuliaHB1 calling someone's point stupid is rudeness. No need for it. Perfectly possible to disagree without it. - 5 more replies

@JuliaHB1 Fair point, but let's all admit that the salary for MPs is far too low. I'd happily pay them £100k and ban all outside work. -

@DLFairweather@IainDale no way of measuring how well any individual MP has performed -
-
@DLFairweather agreed we need a competency based framework and qualification for both MPs and Councillors -
@sinjin1 Yes - lets not forget councillors - alot of damage done by incompetent local councillors.

@JuliaHB1 - a no-win situation, we want MPs with working experience not professional politicians so we have to allow secondary employmentThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
