That's a UK Minister salary. An MP salary is 'only' 85.5k.

MPs and Ministers should be paid more. It's not even slightly comparable with similar seniority roles in almost any industry, including the third sector.

No-one wants to pay MPs a market rate so you end up with Nadine Dorries and Andrew Bridgen. Which reinforces the desire not to pay MPs a market rate.

I think there are something like 5-10,000 civil servants alone earning more than an MP and that before you go out to the NHS and other bodies.

Presumably those people have talent, skills and experience though.
