After just 45 days in office as Prime Minister, Liz Truss qualifies for an annual allowance of around €132,000 for the rest of her life.
According to the UK government, all former prime ministers are provided with an annual allowance of a specified amount.
To qualify for the allowance, you simply have to be a former prime minister, which means Truss qualifies despite being the shortest-serving prime minister in the country’s history.
We recall that Liz Truss resigned as Prime Minister of Great Britain only 45 days after coming to this government post, i.e. 44 days after she met with the late Queen Elizabeth II in Balmoral to ask her to form a government.
Truss has the shortest tenure since the second was George Canning, whose prime minister lasted 118 days before he died suddenly in 1827.
She abandoned most of her announced political program and was left without an interior minister yesterday, a week after sacking the finance minister.
Conservative MPs sparred in parliament yesterday over the failed honesty vote, which some saw as a vote of confidence in her government.
