Nice "work" if you can get it

We see so little of Gordon Brown, I had forgotten that he is still an MP.Does he still do constituency work? as for ageing ex prime ministers ,such as Baroness Thatcher, it is outrageous that they should get that sort of money for doing nothing.I can see why she and Blair need protection,but there is no reason for the others to do so. I agree I'd like that for doing very little, but I hope Iwould be too embarassed to take it.

Bump

I can see why Tony Blair and Baroness Thatcher might need protection – but John Major. The only people who could possibly want to attack him would be disenchanted rail travellers, Edwina Currie and Norma Major. Two policemen always accompany him to the Test Matches he attends. Also nice work if you can get it.

Yes , they do !!

I had no idea, this is appalling. Don't they also get protection people?

Anagram Gordon Brown is also paid £65,738 as an MP. He doesn't actually have to do any thing for it.

Gordon Brown doesn't appear to be fulfilling his constitutional duties - they never see him! Neither does Parliament except on very rare occasions.

Wish someone would pay me that kind of money just for existing.

It"s quite appalling
