Here’s the headline: The Prime Minister gets paid £166,786 a year. That’s the official figure, straight from the parliamentary payroll. Not bad for a day job, right?
But hold on—that’s not all. He also gets the standard MP’s salary, which is around £91,346. Yes, you read that correctly. The PM salary is on top of the MP salary. So he’s actually earning those two sums combined for one role.
Wait, I’m confusing myself. Let me clarify: The £166,786 includes the MP’s salary. So his total pay packet is £166,786. Still a hefty chunk of change, but not quite double-dipping. Sorry, conspiracy theorists.
