Rees Mogg claims these people only voted for May to protect their salaries. It is a specious argument which exposes JRM's fundamental nastiness. We could equally say that all the anti May votes were cast by people who thought they would get their hands on that extra cash.
I would suggesd it also alludes to some of his own major motivations in life. Judge people by your own standards, etc...

Cabinet ministers get about double the pay of ordinary MPs, junior ministers get about 50% more, loads of other MPs get supplements for various government jobs.

I think it is outrageous that Andrew Neil and other journos let JRM get away with this. They should have pressed him on his and ERG's failure, having set up a challenge, they lost and May's leadership is guaranteed for the next year.
