Johnny Mercer pays his wife £45,000 a year to be a secretary. Employing your spouse/relative was supposed to be banned in 2017. But they don’t care. Not only does he employ her, he MASSIVELY overpays her. If you want to see the Government fire her give this a RT.
@BladeoftheS Yup. Johnny Mercer is one of the MPs exploiting the "loophole" that allows them to continue employing their wives if they were doing so before 2017. The "Rt Hon" Johnny has been ripping the ring out of the system for at least 6 years.
@BladeoftheS @chirpychappy1 If Tory secretaries are worth £45k a year…what value would Mercer put on an A&E nurse ??
@BladeoftheS @MGouldthorpe1 If MP’s employ their family then there should be strict guidelines as to pay structure and code of conduct.
@BladeoftheS I really agree with attacking MP corruption. But the rule was brought in for new hires, and he employed his wife before 2017, and if she's running the office, the pay scale, defined by IPSA, allows him to pay her that. We should be better than them, and accurate.
@BladeoftheS If it's banned then why does he get the expenses for her pay?
@BladeoftheS @RichMcKendrick Let’s fire this back to the hapless @JohnnyMercerUK who seems to have turned his Twitter replies off. #ToryCriminalsUnfitToGovern
@BladeoftheS You'd think a member of parliament would be competent enough to zip his flies up🤦♀️
@BladeoftheS @cernusson Another #Tory grifter, well, they all are, aren't they
@BladeoftheS The sting of the Jellyfish.
