IIRC peers don't get expenses. And since the house only sits ~150 days per year, your gross income is 'only' ~£45K if you attend every single one of those days. Or do you also get paid if you work on a committee and turn up on a non-sitting day? Even so, a typical 200 days per year results in £60K. Not bad.

And it is, apparently, tax free so £45k is more like a wage of £60-65k.

 

[Belushi]

FFS more than double the average national salary for 150 days a year? I'd bite your arm off if it was offered to me

 

[treelover]

The Lib Dems this weekend have been more robust than Labour in criticising the Tories war on the poor, shame they connived in it for four years and that it isn't a high target to reach,

has there ever been such a supine opposition than todays Labour Party?

What on earth do you think the 300 quid for turning up is if not expenses?

"...and we applauded loudly"

 

[DotCommunist]

heard that piece of shit on my radio saying the tories are ideologically obsessed with cuts. What he doesn't mention is that his party enabled those cuts, voted for those cuts and trying to position themselves as some third way during conference season is not going to erase the memories of the electorate. Fucking lib dem twats.

Last few months - going out of business - everything must go

 

[brogdale]

And on it goes....

A senior Liberal Democrat has been accused of ordering a personal assistant to destroy a document containing allegations of abuse and mismanagement against the late paedophile MP Cyril Smith.

Liz Lynne, who is standing to become the party’s president, is alleged to have told her constituency aide to get rid of a document detailing a cover-up at the Knowl View children’s home in Rochdale, which closed in the mid-1990s.

A manager at the home has also accused her of avoiding a meeting to discuss claims that Smith knew about the child abuse taking place at the home and had taken control of it.

 

[butchersapron]

Sounds like they have digan waiting in the wings.

 

[brogdale]

And Farron's valedictory today included this...

“Of course there are some parts of the job I am happy to pass on. The next time any of you get caught with your pants around your ankles, the media can call someone else to make a comment.”

 

[butchersapron]

Wow. Really.

That's quite disgusting.

 

[brogdale]
