The prime minister was asked about his relationship with Arsenal Football Club after the Sky News' Westminster Accounts project revealed he had received two-and-a-half times more gifts and hospitality than the next MP.

    To be fair, his salary is “only” £75,440 which isn’t as much as I was expecting. (see below) But he also gets £25k a year in free gifts according to the article so…

    Give all MPs a pay rise of £10k and cut off all the expenses and bribery bullshit. And no, I won’t be taking any questions on this one either, because we all know easy solutions suggested by people who know nothing about the problem always work first try

    EDIT having looked again, it seems like he actually gets £170k P.A. (the prime minister’s salary is on top of his MP’s salary) so fuck him, he can afford his own football tickets.

    EDIT 2 and presumably 4 years of not paying rent or bills, so double fuck him

      Prime Ministers get invited to all kinds of events, this isn’t particularly remarkable in my view.
