MP salary isn't on much more than an enhanced rate FLt Lt salary.
Agreed when we are comparing 67k and 64k,
Blimey, Flt Lts on £64K? I've just realised that's just over ten times what I was getting when I left as a Flt Lt in 1977! (I kept my last salary slip as a souvenir).

Still, my house was worth about twice my salary then, so I suppose servicemen and women nowadays are no better off, if anything worse off now. Especially when I guess a good £20k of that £64K is taxed at the higher rate.

Just goes to show the effects of inflation, I suppose.
