Fit (and Rich Enough) for Office?
The Times on Sunday reports that Prime Minister Johnson has told friends that he needs to earn about £300,000 a year — twice his salary — to keep his head above water. Johnson’s salary puts him close to the top 1 per cent of UK earners. Yet he makes less than Angela Merkel’s £267,000 or Joe Biden’s £290,000. Luxembourg, with a population roughly equivalent to that of Sheffield, pays its prime minister £200,000.
