[Margaret Pilkington]

no they aren't on benefits.....they do not have to justify their expenses, they do not have to go before a medical board to be assessed, they do not have to attend job centre.meetings.
They both have what is loosely termed employment...they are employed by us.......and their job is to manage the country.
They are paid very well for this employment, but the terms and conditions mean that their contracts come up for renewal periodically.
Come May 7th......it might be different...but they still won't be on benefits because during their political lives they will have made lots of(lucrative) contacts which will act as a buffer against whatever happens.
No politician leaves office, poor. Ever!
