MattHancock reckons you should

For once he’s right as Tory MP’s and Govt have failed miserably to protect the British people from the pandemic with their decades long austerity crippling the NHS and leaving it without enough PPE for its Frontline Workers. More than 50,000 dead which is the highest in Europe!

Donald trump, the English version. Think long and hard before you open your mouth Boris.

Don’t worry Boris, Labour will just up their expenses!!

Now that is common sense!

Someone needs to tell Matt HanCOCK his interview with Piers Morgan this morning was a train wreck as he refused to commit to not accepting his rise

What’s your view on this Johnny ?JohnnyMercerUK

Good best thing he’s said in a long time

I should bloody well think not

Only positive thing this guy has said throughout our covid-19 pandemic!

Maybe we should just clap 👏🏻 for the poor souls

Oh they’d really, really better not, BorisJohnson.

I should think not, they have filled their pockets out of the pandemic, the corruption and fraud has been rife. Way before the pandemic, it started with the deceit and lies on Brexit. Dividing and conquering the Country first. Creating an apathy. Investigate Sky get the TRUTH out

Freezing public salaries then giving a pay raise to parlement is outrageous.

He does? WOW! Isn't he just great!!!!! Manipulation

Whats chances he’s doing a David Cameron? Next week he will say he has no control over it...

Hes bad at time keeping how can he run a country if he can't keep to a time in the house of commons. Seriously

Shock - horror!! I cannot believe Boris has said this but it’s the most sensible statement he has made for a very long time. No way should MP’S get a pay rise when they will raise taxes, freeze public sector pay - suck it up princess!!

Bloody right! Give it to NHS staff instead!

Whilst the rest of the public sector has a pay freeze and after MPs done such a good job compared to the NHS, emergency services and Army? Terrible optics but predictable belligerence.
