Why is the country in chaos?
From 2008 low interest rates.
Covid raping of the countries purse
Brexit
Shortage of everything including energy, goods etc
Probs more, not one thing.
There is a lot of energy spent on asking questions by supposedly intelligent people but no answers - you know what I am saying?
If they aren’t paid enough (and you’re ignoring expenses and funding for a second home) then they make up for it in lucrative contracts and roles after stepping down.

Vastly unfair on MPs in constituencies further from Westminster.Broccers wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 7:35 pmIf i were in charge they would be on 250k each. No extras

What's unfair? The talent in our country only get involved like you say if there's an after benefit.

I decided not to get it after hearing about Nicki Minaj's cousin's friend's swollen balls.

Re: Coronavirus
By definition, an MP has to represent a geographical constituency. They need a base there. If that is outside commuting distance of London (so not in the Home Counties, basically) they need to have some sort of place to stay near Westminster as well as their home.
By fixing remuneration without any expenses, you've basically made it much more expensive to be an MP outside the Home Counties compared to inside them.

Zoom seemed to work well without them filling the subsidised bar. They actually were faces in their local area too.Jobbo wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 1:56 pmBy definition, an MP has to represent a geographical constituency. They need a base there.

Re: Coronavirus
Flew to Copenhagen Friday, back yesterday. PCR test in Gatwick (£59), to meet the UK entry requirement, bought day two test (£48) and filled in the passenger locator form. Not very complicated, but expensive to do and...
1) nobody checked a thing leaving the UK. Ticked some boxes in a web form, but without any verification
2) showed my vaccination status in the NHS app at the passport control in Copenhagen. Police officer squints at my phone and says "I trust you"
3) coming back into the UK nobody checked a thing. Went from gate to carpark in 9 minutes and all I did was scan my passport
Doesn't feel very well controlled.
