:gov: Boris Johnson is Still the Prime Minister

Reasonably serious discussion
1121

Still not a lot - especially down South.

1122

I see we’re back to the rather simplistic view of spending more money on something is better.

I disagree - there are shitloads of people in the public sector, including some people who’ve posted here, that would be fantastic MPs precisely because they’re not earning north of 80K.

I find your definition of best at odds with my previous understanding of the term.

1123

And that really wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Perhaps the lawmakers might end up making laws that allow normal people to live there too. The median wage (non London weighted) is ÂŁ27K.

1124

It’s 80k plus 25k for housing plus 5k for family support plus expenses. These are the same cunts who voted to remove 20 quid per week from the poorest in society. Fuck them all to death.

I’m with @pap on this, being a MP should be about renumeration it should be about serving the people, if you up the salary you end up getting twats who are only in it for the money not for serving the public good.

Lower the “wages” and you might, just might, get a better breed of politician.

Mind you you might end up with more fuckin’ twats like Boris, Etonians who don’t need the money. :lou_facepalm_2:

There’s no “might” about it.

Sadly I think you’re right. :frowning:

Boris needs the money, believe me.

The two things he has in common with his hero Churchill are that he’s fat and he’s skint during his first term.

1130

As with any sphere of life there are cunts everywhere. Paying them more won’t reduce the number of cunts.
I would rather have cheap cunts doing a shit job than pricey cunts doing a shit job.

Incidentally, we could have had a PM who objects to MP’s having 2nd jobs and doesn’t take the piss with expenses but some were too worried that he rode a communist bicycle and made jam from Israeli foreskins.

Don’t get @pap started, FFS. Or me, for that matter. :rage::smile:

1133

You have the latter already

ÂŁ80k gets you Hancock or Abbott

ÂŁ50k gets you the more shit version

Most council CEOs get paid more than our Ministers and their remits are chicken shit by comparison

I would rather give the better pay a go and see what happens - if I’m wrong we blow £50m a year - the current crop of cunts can do that before breakfast

Labour have got their noses in front in the polls

That will start making the Tory MP’s arses twitch - Boris gone by April

I think they’ve run out of potential leaders, tbh. Sunak is fine as Chancellor, but probably a step too far for the tories as the top man.

1137

They’ll probably choose someone like Gove (shudders…)

1138

Not sure - I suspect the party has had their fill of tub thumping vacuousness and a more measured leader would be welcomed.

Sunak is an obvious choice, but quite often the obvious choice doesn’t get it. There will be decent candidates out there, I suspect they have kept their heads down to avoid getting tarred by association to Boris

1139

For the first time I can remember, there’s no obvious replacement beyond Sunak. Brexit ruled out whole swathes of them and imho still does.
