If we continue to pay MPs less than estate agents, we’ll continue to get second-rate politicians. Double their pay and hold them to account.
@jonhoneyball And any decent CEO will earn twice that with expenses. The money’s not good enough to make high calibre people do the job.

@bazzacollins there is no evidence to suggest that money is the limitation on people becoming mps. -
@jonhoneyball@bazzacollins Definitely pay them more. Lots more. Make it a job attractive to GOOD people, not just PPE students. -
@PaulOckenden@jonhoneyball@bazzacollins tighten up the recruitment too so the numpties are (hopefully) stopped!

@bazzacollins@jonhoneyball But it's the only job where you're not obliged to turn up to work for your entire term. Most earn elsewhere too. -
@RiyadEmeran@jonhoneyball Indeed, so pay them properly and make them work full-time. -
@bazzacollins@RiyadEmeran you think 65k is not enough for a 29yo graduate? -
@jonhoneyball@bazzacollins if pay was to be increased then expenses need to be clamped right down. Would reduce burden on tax payer
