Interesting points here regarding Matt Hancock being seen as out of touch by the other contestants.
Mike Tindall married into the RF, Boy George is a multimillionaire, Chris Moyles got paid lots of money as a DJ, and Sue has been in Corrie for over 20 years. She must have been pretty well paid over all these years?..
Hancocks MPs salary would be about 80k. Yes as a cabinet minister he would have got more.
But an MP can lose their seat after any election, so it’s not a guaranteed income for long.
An MPs salary is obviously way above the average wage but many managing directors of companies would be on more than that. A head teacher of a school wouldn’t be on much less that that. Bankers get lots more money. Lots of people get paid more than an MP.
So I don’t get why they all seem to think Hancock lives in another world to them, when probably most of them earn more than he does anyway.
