Liz Truss' huge net worth as she's entitled to £115k per year for the rest of her life

[arknor]

Well she destroyed the tory party

thought that was boris

 

[aVdub]

Why surprised?

This is one of the main reasons these people get into politics for, be what-ever BS party they swing for.

 

[Uther]

Politicians should be limited to a very nice but not ridiculous total income for the rest of their lives, sort of UC on steroids. We'd soon see who was in it for the right reasons.

Why? Every time I've left a job they haven't kept paying me.

 

[Kelt]

Absolute disgrace, getting lottery win money for being an abject failure.

MP's really know how to look after themselves.

It's supposed to be to cover the costs of maintaining an office (presumably she's still expected to retain a secretary and perhaps hire a PR firm etc..) as a former PM.

Hey, you know you cannot bring up the past like that as it doesn't count now for some

This sort of thing makes me want vote even less.
Its a different world to what most people operate in.

Reward for failure. At tax payers expense

 

[HungryHippos]

This should really only go to those who actually serve a full term, ridiculous.

 

[Pawnless Endgame]

I thought you had to serve as PM for 2 years before you're entitled to the £115k/year.

Boris was PM for 2.5 years (I think?) so he is over the threshold. David Cameron definitely did over 2 years, and possibly Theresa May too, but Liz Truss was well short of 2 years having only served 45 days.

It is only expenses not the pension.

One place we should cut down on MP benefits and wages....

Trickle up economics, the plebs pay the rulers.

Trickles down when their kin hire butlers, cleaners, servants, nannys etc

That's the future of our country, jobs that keep the rich lazy and in the life of luxury, back to the 1600s we go

Not if they already have cleaners etc.

 

[Raiden85]

It's insane if she gets that, unless you do a full year minimum two preferably then you shoulds be entitled to it, not 45 sodding days.
