  • The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) announced that MPs' salaries will increase to £110,000 by 2029.
  • This represents a £19,000 pay rise from the start of the current parliament, with an interim increase to £98,599 by 2026-27.
  • IPSA justified the decision by citing increased levels of abuse, more complex workloads for MPs, and benchmarking against other senior roles.
