As I am sure you know, MPs are expected to be given a 10 percent pay rise taking their annual salaries to £74,000. This comes at a time when Ministers say that a one percent rise for nurses is "unaffordable".
It is the sort of breathtaking hypocrisy that we have come to expect from our politicians who, it should be noted, receive - on top of their extravagant expenses and allowances - a £5.8 million annual subsidy from we taxpayers for the food and drink that they consume at Westminster.
If you don't want to contribute to the cost of their wining and dining and believe that, like everyone else, they should pay for their own food and drink, you should sign this e-petition:
