Given the choice I would prefer to pay MPs more than have them acting as paid shills in office. Post office pay offs with non-executive directorship needs banning in the Lords too. The cost of having these people in Parliament is far higher than a 20k increase in pay.
If that is the choice, then Labour should try to force the Tories to argue for a pay rise, while cutting Universal Credit, increasing NI and giving sub inflation pay rises to public sector staff.
Which is why it won't happen.
