    No doubt he’ll be straight off to a private job somewhere, raking in millions, despite being less useful than a chocolate teapot. Despite what he says online.

      Don’t forget his 115 grand of the taxpayers money that he’ll be getting every year for the rest of his life for "office costs and secretarial costs arising from his special position in public life” as well as severance and a special pension. Pocket change to him of course, but you know he’s going to claim every single penny of it just for the joy of fucking over regular people, and then probably invest it in arms manufacturing or oil and coal companies or private prisons or something else evil like that, as a treat.

        I was going to say “up to” £115k but it looks like most of them claim as close to the maximum that they think that they can justify.

        I’d have thought that the costs would go down year after year as the financial impact on their lives went down over time. Theresa May’s is going up for some reason and why the hell are Tony Blair, John Major and Gordon Brown still claiming the full amount!?

        He earned his stripes fucking the poors so now he will be rewarded by the big club for his services.

        Job well done, sucks to suck peasants!

          Sure, but his main motivation isn’t to fuck over the poors as a mercenary for some other asshole’s wealth. It’s to fuck over the poors for his own interest.

          Dude already was a Goldman Sachs banker. There’s not many depths he hasn’t already plumbed.
