Wishful DDRB thinking
At a time where we are repeatedly told the government has no money, I was surprised to find that MPs are getting a 5% uplift from April.
Then I looked back and compared their uplifts to ours and was surprised to see that we are almost always given slightly more, but theirs remain fairly steady, year on year.
Here's to hoping we get 5%+.....
