Smoke and mirrors

News in Italy this morning is that MPs' salaries are being cut by €1.300 a month (they are currently €14,000 a month).

However a brief examination, before we open the prosecco, shows that this reduction is simply a removal of the extra they would have got from a change in the calculations of their entitlement.

No. These chaps don't vote for reductions in their remuneration.

Nothing to see here. Move along.
