Oh Peter…what were you thinking? It was never going to end well, was it?
Sir Peter Bottomley, MP, claimed this week that he’s no idea how MP’s manage on a ‘grim’ salary of £82,000 a year. Worse still, he announces this on the day that the Government cut the Universal Credit uplift by £20.
Cue the launch of a hundred different tongue-in-cheek JustGiving appeals to buy Sir Peter enough bread and gruel to survive, millions of outraged tweets and more negative news coverage than chippy tea sales on a Friday evening.
It’s a mess, Sir Peter, a damn mess.
