How much will he get paid for this post?

Do you have a link please Lyn?

Lord Rose of Monewden is a Conservative Peer so is entitled to to £300 a day for attending the House of Lords.
But Rose is a very very wealthy man, and does not need such pin money. He does not need any payment.

[lynbrown]

Baldric, don't know how to!

[tonyav]

Here you go, lyn. No mention of pay though.

He's leading the Britain Stronger in Europe (BSE-unfortunate inititials) campaign

[askyourgran]

This is the Lord Rose who took over M&S failing sales, and failed to get them going??

[tonyav]

Yes the very same one, ayg.

[Baldric]

Ok, Lyn, done a bit of Googling, can't find any mention of remuneration at all

[Jackdaw33]

That's him! You couldn't make it up. Seeing all the past deadbeats fronting this campaign the OUT camp can afford to sit back and wait for the votes to roll into their lap.

[Gromit]

Yep, the OUT campaign's Nigel Lawson, Douglas Carswell and Kate Hoey are so attractive in comparison.

[Jackdaw33]

Indeed. I suspect you are trying to be sarky but on this occasion it has fallen on deaf ears.

As long as he keeps us in decent underwear,

Matthew 6:31-32

Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

You can guarantee he'll have his snout in one of the many EU troughs that we, who hate them, have to pay for.

[Theland]

Then let's all vote to leave.

I wish we could have this referendum before Christmas and get it over with. It's going to be nothing but EU blah blah blah for the next two years... assuming we ever get one at all. !! Mr Pggy is the master of the U-turn after all.

As Lord Rose (great name) being a known Eurosceptic, the fact that he's "Yes" should carry more weight than some.
The referendum campaign will be about swaying the undecided, which is quite a lot of people, not trying to convince people like (so it would seem) for example, us Answerbankers of one persuasion or another who will shout at each other in the name of debate for the next two years or so
I suggest a charity box for Bullsh*t referendum bingo:
"Snouts in the trough", "EUSSR", "get our country back"
"We must not be alone in the world" etc etc
