Rejected petition Stop allowances ex prime ministers recieve including £115000 per year
I wish for parliament to reverse the ruling from 1991 by PDCA paying ex prime ministers £115000 per year in allowances as well as other perks.
More details
At a time when the cost of living crisis is forcing people to foodbanks, heat shelters, repossesions of houses due to rise in mortgage payments. It is not fair for ex pms to be paid this through tax payers money.
E.g tony blair may have claimed over 1 million pounds already !!
