Isn't it time we paid our prime ministers correctly?

Isn’t it time we paid our prime ministers (of any persuasion) correctly? The idea that Boris makes £157,000, the same as a sales director at a medium sized business or the chief executive of a clapped out local council, is an absolute disgrace and a stain on our democracy. The fact there is a queue to do what must be a bloody awful job being played out in public is not an excuse for failing to do the right thing.

Further the state should pay for the refurb of the PM’s flat. After all the family live there because the job and security demands it. Since 1979 on average a PM stays in Downing Street for more than five years and under those circumstances they are entitled to have the place nice for them and nice for their family.

​That should be a bill the state pays without rancour. After all when you consider the billions that are wasted in the name of benefits or charity it would be a drop in the ocean.

Perhaps the most disgraceful aspect of the way our PM is treated that although he doesn’t pay rent he must pay £7,000 tax liability for heat, light and maintenance plus council tax of £1,655 a year.
​
We need to push these changes through Parliament sooner rather than later. Only mean minded mean spirited Corbynistas would be against it. I would be pleased if they emerged from under a rock so I could name and shame them.
