Will Osborne pledge to limit his own pay rise?

From LabourListGeorge Osborne black tie

Many will have noticed George Osborne’s comments this morning on Today, later reproduced in the Evening Standard.

Given David Cameron’s commitment as quoted in the Daily Mail on March 31st, “that he would not accept any increase in his salary as leader of the Opposition or as an MP in 2009-10”, we were wondering if Boy George might care to mimic his master’s voice? Cameron’s promise also applies to Tory whips. But will it apply to the Shadow Chancellor?

George Osborne called this morning for ‘pay restraint’ for hard working police, teachers and nurses.

Time to put your money where your mouth is, George.
