tinfoilhat Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I sort of agree with his decision, maybe his party would be served better if he stood down. If he gets a ticket to the lords in years to come I'd be disappointed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biotechpete Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 How will he manage, his millions and his wife's mega millions, he might have to get a hand-out. Hopefully his security will cost a bit less than Blair's £250k/year. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/tony-blair/9496328/Tony-Blair-still-costs-the-public-400000-a-year.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin-H Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 It might be the right decision for the Conservative party, but what about the cost to the tax payer? Why does him standing down now cost the tax payer any more than it would cost us if he stood down in 2020, or 2025? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamston Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 How will he manage, his millions and his wife's mega millions, he might have to get a hand-out. His current family fortune will be chicken feed compared to his future earnings on the international lecture and after dinner speech circuit. Good luck to him.

The cost of elections in 2020 and 2025 will be the same, him standing down means extra by-election costs of around £300,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
