A former Labour Minister says a proposed pay rise for politicians gives them a real dilemma.Â
The Remuneration Authority's set to increase most MP salaries 10.5% over three years.Â
If implemented, it would be the first pay rise for MPs since 2017 and the first rise of 2.8% will be backdated to the election. Â

He says about 90% of MPs work incredibly hard and put the hours in, but it's often unseen.Â
