Boris Johnson is set to accept a £2,200 pay rise being given to all MPs next month as the cost-of-living crisis hits Brits.
Downing Street had urged the independent pay body to show "restraint" when it first proposed a 2.7% rise back in January.
But now that the rise from £81,932 to £84,144 next month has been confirmed, the Prime Minister's official spokesman said there is no way for him to turn it down.
