£158k for running the country and taking all the **** he does seems like a bit of a bargain if you ask me. In the private sector he would be earning x10 that figure.

He'll earn a lot more from the post PM deals etc. I recall his salary for the DT was something like £275k so yes I agree that he would and will earn a lot more in the private sector.

The main reason that stops me (trying to go) going into politics. Doesn't pay enough, at least as a back bencher.

It does seem a potential issue in terms of getting the best people in. And yet we have this (IMHO) slightly odd thing about making a fuss when people earn 'more than the prime minister' as if they shouldn't. As opposed to thinking perhaps we should pay the PM more....

What upsets me is one in three kids in poverty and that will probably get worse.
A few on here say don't have kids.
A few of us on here do charitable things which I applaud.
All of us on here doing okay.
I'm very lucky that I can do exactly as I like and I do not have loads of money but I have freedom and zero debt which I value highly with good health.
I really hope Boris is a Genius and can do what he has said he will do.
I don't mean to cause offence.

Agree Matt...He can keep it for that money...It isn't worth the hassle ..... OK I know he gets the house and other stuff I'm sure but still when you think of the responsibility it should be a sh1t load more.

Just watched this and quite shocked to say the least.
Would really be interested as to what others think.
