Amend legislation so that a min term must be served to gain a pension for life.
A departure payment in lieu for any potential earnings lost for loss of employment in other other areas of UK Government
All the former PM’s had terms in office for more than 12 calendar months. At a time where the people of Uk are struggling to put food on their tables or heat their homes.
The now resigned PM should not be getting a pension for life for having 44 days of service.
