More than most polititions are worth. <BR/><BR/>Always makes me smile that they give themselves huge pay rises. Did any of the Doctor Rant team hear the one about the Nurses getting a 1.9% pay rise?Nursing Studenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07476470836536940135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28089527.post-54938456914797581672007-11-26T15:56:00.000Z2007-11-26T15:56:00.000Z2007-11-26T15:56:00.000Z<I>MPs earn 250000 a year*...<BR/>*the sum of the basic salary of an MP and the highest expense claim of any MP last year is £245698</I><BR/><BR/>Ah.

Ministers who had clearly breached the professional code of conduct- for example by failing to declare conflicts of interest or by having sexual relations with subordinates- were allowed to continue practising without any sanction.Long winded docnoreply@blogger.com
