Don't blame me, I'm a Tory! 

Why are you a Tory?

Sue Gray is receiving a salary of £170,00 per year for being Sir keir Starmer's Chief of Staff. Lord Booth Smith who did the same job for Rishi Sunak when he was prime minister received a salary of £145,000 per year.  Why is Sir Keir Starmer paying more than Rishi Sunak for a Chief of Staff if the country is in such dire straits which he wants us all to believe after 14 years of a Conservative government?

 

£25,000 a year extra is not going to put the country in anymore dire straits than it already is.

If you're that hot on public money not being wasted, you might like to have a shufty over the near £135 billion wasted on crony contracts and duff deals by the 2019 - 2024 government:

P.S. the above doesn't include the catastrophic hit to public finances from the Government’s Brexit deal which has crippled businesses, slowed economic growth, and is estimated to be costing around £100bn per year. Similarly, the total does not include the titanic economic cost of the disastrous mini-budget which increased bills for mortgage payers across the country and which ended Liz Truss’ premiership after 6 weeks.

Naybe she’s better at her job

Aye, aye.  I see we have 2 of the 5, (may be the other 3 have finally had reality check & come to their senses), of the last Remainers trying to shoe horn Brexit it into every argument.  Clearly the 'Consequences of Brexit' thread is now so far down the SF archives due to lack of use, they can't find it. 

 

As I mentioned a number of times on that thread, Remainers are like that WWII Japanese soldier emerging from the jungle in the 1970's bewildered, only to be told, "You've been, (& still are), wasting your life these past years.  The war is over, the World's moved on."
