LABOUR acting leader Harriet Harman and three leadership hopefuls yesterday ruled out accepting a 10 per cent pay rise planned for MPs.

A party spokeswoman said she would be “very surprised” if Ms Harman accepted the £7,000 raise being proposed by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa).

Tory Prime Minister David Cameron, who had previously branded the plan “unacceptable,” has now agreed to the top-up, which takes MPs’ annual pay to £74,000.
