Does Anyone Know

[pimplyteen]

I may have missed such a thread, Is Miss Flip Flop going to claim her 115k a year for 10 years for her 44 days in the job? Thanks.

[bhg481]

The simple response is "Would you?". Few people would turn it down.

[barry1010]

She hasn't said and nobody will know unless she puts her claim in in 12 months time

[sandyRoe]

If I could have a bet on it I'd gamble that she will.

Aye, poor lassie will need some compensation for the stress she had as PM for 44 days! As TTT would say PMSL

[pimplyteen]

14.41, Yes and no, she is not exactly poor is she? She has done damage without doubt, but at least said sorry and got out of the job that was way out of her depth. So back to yes and no, yes, I would claim and hand it over to the food banks every year.

[bobbinwales]

Its not compensation for anything though... its amax amount they can claim for for if they have to maintain an office to pay staff or running costs and do exPM duties. Hopefully she'll not bother

[bobbinwales]

I think it might be worth researching how its claimed and what its for P/t

I don't think you just demand your 115k, it's more like an expenses claim: here are my receipts for remaining in public life.

I can't see why she shouldn't be as entitled to it as anyone else. It's based on future costs, not past failures; what's good for Major and Brown ought to be good for her.

[pimplyteen]

It seems by the link it has to be justified, but I'm sure being a con she will find a way.

[FatticusInch]

I posted this the other day. Can someone confirm please if it works for non Tik-Tok users?
It certainly gives it perspective.

I honestly find it incredulous that any former PM of any persuasion gets this sort of money?
Absolutely none of them are short of a bob or three if they’ve been PM, are they?

it's not just the conservatives who have form for fiddling their expenses though - all parties are represented on that score......

we arent sure
actually we dont know.
.
Civil service - if you forego nobly £x they grind out a thanks
if you say can I have a bit more, they say Fraud
and so

when I had cancer - you know the disease you have a decent chance from dying from -
It was clear I was gonna be off for about a year ( or longer hur hur hur).
NHS rules - 6 mo full pay ( what for cancer? yup) and then 6 mo half pay ( if you're still alive? yup) then nil.

what is the day that you start?
Mine was a week short - why was it a week short
long pause
oh, we assumed you have self certified for the first week, and counted that as week no 1

I didnt - I worked.
Can you show that

yeah - work sheets actualy - all but Friday - 4th day of the weekd
and so they assessed me as a day short. ( when you are ill - you need the money. (*)

and so - - if miss Flip Flop has a right to 115k for three and a half days: then I would claim it

PP

(*) as a works rep, I turned much more into: the rules say X. You havent done X. Can you do X please. Tomorrow will be OK.

I was in demand.

[Peter Pedant]

Hey mooshie
this isnt a con or a scam
the rules say she can claim....she may need it
nichty scam

o god this is gonna go down as too complex for a standard AB mod to get their brayne around

[pimplyteen]

If it's to partly pay for protection, that's a lot of slug pellets for 1 lettuce. :0)

no it doesn't. the man has made the same mistake as some in the media, by calling it a pension.

It is not a pension. it is not a salary. it is not a grant. it is not a bonus. she doesn't automatically receive the full amount. it's an expense allowance. anything claimed against it has to be properly receipted. The figure of £115k is a cap.

Yes it does. He breaks it down and it puts it all into perspective.
If she reaches the current average age for a UK female of 81 she’ll get nearly £4million in that time.
Not bad for 44 days in office! Can you justify that as value for money?
Give it a go, but remember too the budget and misery she’s foisted on millions in those 44 days.

it's £153k and of course she'll claim it, you would. Stupid question.
