Just listening to LBC and a caller said that, regardless of the fact Truss has only been PM for a few weeks (& wrecked the UK economy), she'll still receive a salary of £114,000 for the rest of her life. Is this actually true?? If so, I'm livid!

All of them are at it.

By the time this article was written:
Thatcher has received £535,000 from the state since 2006, and John Major, who set up the allowance in 1991, has received £490,000. Tony Blair has claimed since 2007 and received £273,000. The figures reveal he received £169,076 in 2008-9, more than his salary in office.

It's not a salary, but expenses for duties undertaken as an ex PM.

Blair claims all of his, Brown and Cameron around £114K and Theresa May around £60K. Says it all!

She makes me sick. Hopefully the money won't do her any good, the useless article.

“Falling on her sword will have financial comforts for Liz Truss. She will become the seventh living ex-PM to enjoy a payoff of £115,000 annually to fund her 'public life'.

She will also retain a chauffeur-driven car and get round-the-clock protection for life, the costs of which are never discussed.”

Seriously! Why?? How can this be right, when people are starving and freezing.
