How much money earned per year would place you in the top 3% of earners in the United Kingdom? £50,000? £80,000? They’re reasonable guesses, however the correct answer is £80,000 per year.

If someone were too claim that they’re ‘worried their salary isn’t enough’, or that they had ‘extensive family responsibilities’, would you place them in the top 3% of earners in the UK? The simple answer is no. Nevertheless, the £150,000 Boris Johnson allegedly earns from his role as PM is clearly not enough for him. To put things into perspective, in the United Kingdom:

  • 1.6 Million people are forced to use food banks
  • 4 Million children are living in poverty
  • 1.6 Million pensioners are living in poverty.

​Yet, despite these facts, the £150,000 isn’t enough for our wonderful PM.

if he cant survive on that amount of money, he should try and live on the £125 a week I live on, and I run a house on that too.
