I do sympathise where Boris is concerned, his outgoings for his large family must be huge...

[Spicerack]

Nobody held a gun to his head, emmie. (as far as I know)
Winston was always pleading poverty.
I suppose some people get used to spending more when you have it. I know I do.

[emmie]

no but he ain't writing for the Spectator any more nor any other paper, which would in the old days made him reasonably well off. Now there is a new baby and that ain't cheap, what with school fees for his other children, his salary isn't that high..

[Bobbisox1]

I really hope both sides think hard before accepting this pay rise or at least till we're out the other side of this pandemic

[emmie]

could be bobbi...

Agree about paying more and culling them - imo to 350......it's ridiculous that we have over 200 more members in the HP Sauce than there are in the House of Reps in Washington DC - and the States population is six times ours.

+ over a thousand Lords (I believe)
Sack the lot and put me in charge.

[royfromaus]

Didn't you use to be a Lord?

[lady-janine]

A pay cut of that amount would be more appropriate imo. Would show they understood the plight of a lot of the country.

[lady-janine]

No. No sympathy for him emmie. He put himself in that position. Sorry but your reasoning on this simply does not make sense.

Didn't some politicians in other countries take pay cuts at the beginning of the pandemic?
