Sir Peter Bottomley reveals ‘desperation’ of living on £82k

Anyone got a spare £20k to give Peter? Whilst all our attention is distracted by those facing £20 Universal Credit cuts and energy price hikes, spare a thought for those struggling on £82k a year plus generous expenses. ;)

Tory MP Sir Peter Bottomley reveals ‘desperation’ of living on £82k as he asks for pay rise

Sir Peter Bottomley says: “I don’t know how they manage. It’s really grim.”

Veteran Tory Sir Peter Bottomley has spoken of the “grim” struggle of living on an MP’s £81,932 salary.

Sir Peter’s comment raised eyebrows on the day Universal Credit has been cut for the most vulnerable living in poverty.

The Commons Father of the House, 77, who represents Worthing West, said many of his colleagues were finding their situation “desperately difficult”.

He believes MPs should be paid the same amount as GPs – whose average salary in England is £100,700. The average UK wage is £31,461.
