Salary, IPSA-funded parliamentary business costs, staffing, accommodation, outside interests, donations and gifts — kept as separate categories so public money is never confused with personal income or political support.

Payroll: the annual IPSA staffing figure above is the complete comparable public measure across all 17. Payroll-only figures are being cross-checked separately; WATCH will not publish a payroll-only winner until the same definition is verified for every MP.
Second homes: we do not infer home ownership from IPSA accommodation expenditure. Registered property interests are tracked separately under the Members’ Register.
Second jobs: we distinguish current paid work from unpaid roles and from jobs/council allowances that have ended. Register entries can remain visible after an interest ends, so status and dates matter.
Gifts and donations: Category 2 donations/support, Category 3 gifts/hospitality and sponsored overseas visits are displayed separately. They are not added to salary or IPSA costs.
Financial baseline: latest complete 2024/25 IPSA annual business-cost data available for consistent cross-MP comparison. Salary baseline: IPSA 2026/27 basic salary. Interests: current House of Commons Register of Members’ Financial Interests, checked 5 September 2026. Where third-party interfaces make the annual IPSA dataset easier to read, WATCH preserves the underlying IPSA category definitions and cross-checks material rankings.

The earlier Tom Rutland-only 11-MP output/cost comparison and interim VFM model are historical only. WATCH Sussex now publishes one constituency-first 35/25/25/15 assessment across all 17 Sussex MPs.
