Boo!

Marcial Boo, the chief executive of the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa), believes that MPs do an important job and should not be paid “a miserly amount” for their services. Indeed, an MPs salary of £67K is way below that of Mr Boo's (who earns £120K).

As such he has authoried a pay rise of around 10%, effective from next May.

Whilst this may be all very well in Mr Boo's well paid bubble universe, in reality it simply cannot stand; lest there be an outpouring of anger from the taxpayers and voters, who are constantly being told by the government to tighten their belts.

Mr Boo will find himself abolished before his recommendation comes to fruition.
