We’re doing it for our poor MPs

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Can you imagine how hard it must be to survive as an MP? You have to exist on a meager £64,766 (source) which is pitifully low, how can anyone be expected to live off that and buy their monthly ration of protein, creatine and BCAAs? Well if you manage to blag a role on a select committee, a cabinet minster or the prime minister you can elevate that to £79,132, £144,520 or £197,689 respectively.

Obviously anyone would struggle to survive on that, so MPs have to muddle through using their £100,205 (source) staffing allowance to employ their near destitute family and claiming their £22,193 in incidental expenses for those annoying costs they have to bear that us commoners don’t. You know like, mortgages, mistresses or even houses for their ducks!

So that’s why we’re building the Discount Supplements Guide, we’re helping our poor MPs - they need it, after all how would you cope if you only earned what they do? Could you afford your sports supplements on their meager wage?
