Former Prime Ministers, Boris Johnson and Liz Truss each were given severance cash of £18, 660 when they quit as prime minster. The Payout for Truss works out at around £380 every day 9 (only 49 days) she was in the job, her Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng for 38 days, who  delivered the disastrous mini-budget was also handed a severance payment of £16, 876. Chris Pincher, who resigned as Johnson’s deputy chief whip after being accused of groping two men, received £7, 920.

Tom Scholar who was sacked by Truss as the Treasury’s top civil servant  on her first day in power, was given a severance pay of £335, 000, plus £122, 000 in annual leave adjhustments and compensation in lieu of notice.

These payouts were revealed in the Treasury accounts published on Thursday, the final day of Parliamentary term before summer.

Angela Rayner said “ At a time when people up and down the country are struggling to pay their mortgages  and put food on the table, it shows a staggering lack of shame for them to accept his money, but is exactly what we’ve come to expect from a bunch of Tories who only care about themselves”.

The former PM made an average of £15, 770 per hour in this parliament from second jobs. Johnson’s hourly rate is higher than Truss coming in at £21, 822, but he has stepped down as MP and no longer has to declare his earnings.
