£82,000...
... it's grim having to live on such a small amount.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-b1933668.html (announced same day as £20 UC cut) Maybe at 77 yrs old he should retire. (as should all MPs when they reach 60).

Re: £82,000...
Especially as most of his living expenses are covered by Parliamentary expenses. Not to mention his copper bottomed pension when he does retire.

Re: £82,000...
He's been an MP almost 50 years. No idea of real life as he's spent his cosseted from life's bumps by privilege and good pay.

Re: £82,000...
no, but he's complaining it's too little and he should be getting £100k, expecting the tax payer to pay him more at the same time denying low income people benefits.
£82k is 3x the average UK income.

Re: £82,000...
Larry and Paul do excellent political satire. Life imitates art? Some wag has started a Gofundme for Bottomley - last I heard it had reached £70.
