Fancy having a go at being Prime Minister? £115,000 annual pension if you get booted out after only 6 weeks. Will Boris get two times £115k when he fucks up and gets booted out again?

"Outgoing UK Prime Minster Liz Truss is set to receive an eye-watering lifelong pension following her resignation, despite only having held the top job for just seven weeks. Under the Public Duties Cost Allowance (PDCA), Truss, like other former prime ministers, are allowed to claim £115,000 per year to put toward the cost of "maintaining activities in public life". The scheme was set up in 1991 following the resignation of Margaret Thatcher and since then, former prime ministers have claimed millions of Pounds. Following Truss' resignation yesterday, she will become the fifth living former PM to be able to claim from the scheme - meaning the UK taxpayer could fork out £700,000 per year on pension benefits. Former PMs John Major, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Cameron all claimed more than £100,000 through the PDCA in 2020/2021, according to official records. Major and Blair both claimed back the maximum available allowance, while both Brown and Cameron claimed slightly under." www.9news.com.au/world/liz-truss-may-receive-huge-pension-every-year-after-just-seven-weeks-work-as-pm/5c5ce77c-c9dc-49fb-b0d5-c715649f5378

It's not a vaccine. "This Pfizer senior exec seemingly let the cat out of the bag the other day with a rather bizarre admission to Dutch MEP Rob Roos, that the company she represents had no idea whether this new vaccine of theirs that they rushed out, prevented transmission of this virus or not. Well what do you know eh. Fair enough some people might say, as it was an allegedly novel virus, we were following the science blah blah woof, but what I will ask is – what the fuck were these Draconian jab mandates all about then? When they were based on nothing more than speculation and hyperbole? Members of the populace threatened through government blackmail and every other dirty underhanded technique imaginable, often in cahoots with the mass media through nudge units, with the threat of losing their livelihoods or the ability to travel freely, all in exchange for an injection. An injection they didn’t want first and foremost. An injection which protected everybody else? Apparently. An injection which stopped you catching the virus or getting ill or dying. Apparently. Shouldn’t it have been a more reasonable democratic approach of “get jabbed should you wish but Joseph Goebbels levels of coercion are out of the question” Unfortunately and apparently not, as far as the virus/vaccine zealots out there were concerned (Justin Trudeau freezing bank accounts of protesting truckers being one egregious example) Will the people affected by these mandates be compensated by their respective governments? Hopefully. At least we all got the opportunity to witness “liberal leaders” such as Biden, Ardern, Trudeau, Macron and especially that snivelling four eyed cunt in Australia – Andrews, make the most of their chance to flex their tyrannical muscles in front of their paymasters and prove to the world what undemocratic illiberal bastards they really are. Will these criminals eventually face justice for their crimes? Hopefully but probably not."

Only in that in its strictest sense, a pension requires that payment is made into a fund during the employee's working years by the employee to support them in their retirement years, whereas this is being funded by the rest of us.

It's an annual lifetime expense allowance and needs to be claimed against auditable accounts, so nothing like a pension.
Although I think we all could think of several ex PMs who we would gladly see getting the money as a pension - provided they just shut up and dissapeared.

Mordaunt at 25:1 looks interesting.
Will the blue rinse brigade want an Indian?
Woman seems better for the transition back to Johnson for the next election.
He's won an election before innit.

An indian born in Southampton but with a green card for America if he needs to leg it. My worry is that his experience is very limited. He wasn't that good a chancellor, and his lack of expertise in anything will be hard to hide on the world stage. Same for Mordaunt really, but I dont see her getting to the 100 needed anyway. I firmly believe the english born idian with a green card will fuck up spectacularly.

Some people might think this was all set up in advance. Another issue is that Sunak is too wealthy. I know all the political leaders are loaded but his family is rather more weighed down by cash than even the old Etonians.
On the other hand he was the one who did all the fulough thing so people might like him.
Interesting times but yes I would expect him to fail as a PM. Its just how soon.

In my view, the biggest cwunt in the tory party at the moment is Ian Brady. He's a manipulative shit stirring ego freak who needs to be booted out.
