Britain's youngest MP vows to only take home £35,000 of her £79k salary, donate rest to charities

Nadia Whittome, 23, will donate a huge chunk of her salary to Nottingham charities - saying until wages rise for the likes of nurses and firefighters, the Labour MP will only take a "worker's wage."

The basic annual salary for an MP from April 1 2019 before tax is £79,468 - with Whittome planning to take home £35,000 after tax.

MPs also receive expenses to cover the costs of running an office, employing staff, having somewhere to live in London or their constituency, and travelling between Parliament and their constituency.
