That outfit looks like it was purchased by a stylist and the tags were removed just before taking this picture. “Make sure you pull up the sleeves so it looks like you’re hard working!”

No doubt he’ll be straight off to a private job somewhere, raking in millions, despite being less useful than a chocolate teapot. Despite what he says online.

He earned his stripes fucking the poors so now he will be rewarded by the big club for his services.

Job well done, sucks to suck peasants!

Don’t forget his 115 grand of the taxpayers money that he’ll be getting every year for the rest of his life for "office costs and secretarial costs arising from his special position in public life” as well as severance and a special pension. Pocket change to him of course, but you know he’s going to claim every single penny of it just for the joy of fucking over regular people, and then probably invest it in arms manufacturing or oil and coal companies or private prisons or something else evil like that, as a treat.

I was going to say “up to” £115k but it looks like most of them claim as close to the maximum that they think that they can justify.

I’d have thought that the costs would go down year after year as the financial impact on their lives went down over time. Theresa May’s is going up for some reason and why the hell are Tony Blair, John Major and Gordon Brown still claiming the full amount!?

Sunak has a net worth over 800 million. I doubt many can afford him as a clock puncher.

Sure, but his main motivation isn’t to fuck over the poors as a mercenary for some other asshole’s wealth. It’s to fuck over the poors for his own interest.

Dude already was a Goldman Sachs banker. There’s not many depths he hasn’t already plumbed.

Obviously not feeling remotely sorry for him, but it makes me laugh when other MPs pile on the prime minister for their losses.

Like… it’s all of you fuckers that have done this over the past 14 years. Rishi was part of that as well, but Conservatives had already lost by the time he became PM.

Yeah don’t get me wrong Rishi was absolute shit, but the man was an upgrade compared to Truss and BoJo

Very true. Just not to the ultra nationalists and racists that ran to reform.

Pretty standard move in Parliamentary Politics.

I bet Truss, Sunak and their ilk with find lots of work as talking heads on American and British conservative shows.

Truss as a telly commentator would be brilliant considering she can barely deliver a normal sentence!

We really need to be able trigger by-elections for nonperformance, he’s still an MP after all. Fall below minimum attendance at the commons and can’t prove it’s because you’re doing constituency work and a recall petition should be triggered.

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
