  • Competent administrators aren’t earning multiples of the UK average salary. If you’re talking more about departmental leadership, £80k is still very high in many industries.

  • I can’t even fathom what we can spend that much money on

    Tesla lease payments, a flashy watch and school fees.

  • I can’t even fathom what we can spend that much money on.

    Yup, just looked at some numbers. Leasing a new Tesla and having two kids in a half decent London private school will cost you about £80k per year (taking normal income tax into account).

  • A fair chunk of that will go in tax but it would also let one half of a couple do something that isn’t work (although of course they will ‘work’ in the MP’s office).

    And then as @Stonehedge says, all the luxury trappings of the golf-clubist have to be paid for.

  • A house is enough, right? Pretty easy to soak up most of your post-tax income on mortgage payments
