Stop anyone paid from the public purse being paid more than the prime minister

Petition Details

We pay the prime minister around £150k to run the country so it is both illogical and unfair to pay a council CE £160k or more for running a small budget operation with zero competition. We do not need to compete in the open market for those good enough to perform in non competitive sectors

Additional Information

The public sector is not in competition with anyone. Your local council will not be beaten by a competitor so why do we need to pay premium salaries for managerial staff. The BBC is funded by a tax in the form of licence fee so why do we need to at newsreaders £400k plus to read the news. They are not attracting advertising and it is perfectly possible to keep promoting younger journalists if they leave. The same is true for all publicly funded or supported jobs.
