Hide AdBaz Hainsworth - "It's an insult when the MPs have recently voted two pay rises of 10% and 11% for themselves."
Jeffæs Ævintýri - "Why don't people who work in crisis childcare get paid more? They work far longer shifts than the average NHS worker."
Angela Morris - "Bet MPs give themselves more than a 1% pay rise. Perhaps they could give up their pay rise and it be used for the NHS."
Jez Thomas - "Healthcare workers in Belgium are getting a 6% deal, and they weren't as badly paid as British healthcare workers in the first place."
