MPs have enjoyed a whopping £13,730 in wage hikes since 2013, despite inflation having dropped from the 2.83% it was back then. In a further slap in the face Parliamentary staff will only be receiving a 1.5% pay rise, less than inflation and significantly less than their bosses. Police officers received a 2% pay rise in September.
MPs who chair committees will enjoy an additional wage hike. For example the chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee - Yvette Cooper - will now take home a basic salary of £95,396. Quids in again Yvette!

It's worth noting that the latest pay rise will come into effect three days after Britain is due to leave the EU. If we leave without a deal most MPs predict there will be 'chaos' and 'economic woe'.
They'll be OK though...
