Remember the whole "We are all in this together" and "Everyone needs to share the pain"?
It seems a certain 'profession' doesn't agree. Not content with claiming expenses for anything and everything, having multiple jobs, probably the only pension scheme that could be described accurately as gold plated and VERY generous holidays the poor didums are complaining about being woefully underpaid.
One even claimed £66k a year meant his children had to go without Xmas presents!

MPs have suggested a 32% hike in their pay to the Commons expenses watchdog, it has been revealed.
Members said they deserved an £86,250 salary in an anonymous survey conducted by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa).
The research also found more than a third think they should keep final salary pensions.
The average level suggested for the appropriate level of pay was £86,250.
