Re: MPs salary & expenses
In view of what an MP actually does for their community compared with the remuneration they get I'll assume that there's a confusion between 'MP' and 'Minister' for some of you. The salary may sound like a lot but when you actually work out the hours that are put in by the decent ones it isn't actually the big trough that people perceive it to be.
I've watched Graham for some time running from pillar to post trying to help residents, hold surgeries and conduct party business at the same time. It's a wonder that he's still upright, I certainly couldn't keep that pace up and look after a family as well but he does everything exceptionally well.
In Hyndburn at least we should be grateful for what we've got. It could have been MUCH worse.
