MPs and MSPs have been handed a pay rise from today of more than £2,000 to their annual salaries - on the same day the cost of living crisis hit millions of households.
From April 1, members of the House of Commons will each have their salaries boosted by £2,212-a-year, which means they will see their pay packet rise to £84,144 from £81,932.
While in the Scottish Parliament MSPs will see their pay rise to £66,662 from £64,470 - an increase of 3.4 per cent.
