New Zealand's Prime Minister and all senior public officials have agreed a 20% pay cut for 6 months.
Over here our MP's will this month receive £2,464 pay rise bringing their basic salary to £81,932, plus the one off £10,000 working from home allowance.
Remember folks, 'We're all in this together '

...plus old Boris heads to his country retreat to recover when everyone else is meant to stay in their principal primary residence!
The world is changing but some things will never change.

Ha! An allowance! Perhaps to soothe their spouses who normally count on them not being at home?

You do realise he is a little bit special as he’s the pm.

I think Boris's illness is a front, how does anyone go from ICU to discharge in 2 days, something doesn't add up IMO.

Boris has regarded himself as 'special' (i.e. not bound by the rules that affect everyone else) ever since childhood.

I thought politics in the 70s and 80s were a right old mess, but the tenties said 'hold my pint'.
Lots of people laughed when de spaffle was on HIGNFY etc back in the day. Lovable old scamp, eh? How the hell did we end up here???

Ah the days of jolly Jim and Maggie sniping from the sidelines, makes this lot look a right bunch of twerps.
