The blicky at top of thread doesn't display well on my computer/browser. Here's the same article elsewhere.

It seems the diverting of public money to ex-prime ministers was invented by John Major only ten years ago.
I would like to see full amounts for the full ten years and what happened previously.
Blair's total was about half that of Thatcher, but he still pocketed more in expenses that he did in a year as Prime Minister.

In the meantime their friends and cronies in big business are doing okay...
