Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
...Blair will receive a severance package from the state worth some £300,000 a year.

Thanks to some astute lobbying by other ex-PMs, Blair will get a car, a police driver and round-the-clock special branch protection.

He will also receive an immediate prime-ministerial pension of almost £64,000 a year as well as a further £84,000 to run his office - on top of what he makes as an MP...


The article is mainly going on what Blair can do from now onwards. I think that he's entitled to do what he wants.

BUT I don't see why the state is to spend vast sums of money on him from now until his death.

Get MPs to curtail their own slurry at the trough? Fat chance. It would take the Queen to make a stand and sort this mess out.

So do others think that this is an acceptable way of spending state money?
