£150,000 (the top politician's pay) is still a lot less than £200,000 (the top GPs' pay). I think calculated on a £/hour worked would see the average GP paid at a much higher rate than the Prime Minister.
Expenses and work residences I discount for both professions as they are entirely for use in connection with the job.
As poor a defence of Johnson being a part time, workshy PM as I think I've seen. I mean you can't even get your facts right. I'm sure Johnson's earning potential have been massively increased by his tenure as PM but regardless, the idea that Johnson can't put a full shift in because he's (on some flaky analysis) paid less than some doctor somewhere is incredible...
Can you spell out the facts I have got wrong?
Just using your
facts for this thread?
Well you used your quoted "average" GP salary of 90k as your lower limit for comparison with MPs
- which if that wasn't a mistake was certainly tendentious
TBH though that figure itself seems a bit on the high side
- e.g.
https://www.payscale.com/research/UK/Jo ... ner/Salary would put the figure at £65,128
- or
https://www.prospects.ac.uk/job-profile ... ice-doctor Salaried general practitioners (GPs) earn £58,808 to £88,744 depending on the length of service and experience.
- so perhaps, just perhaps you might actually be a little bit incorrect in your figures to begin?
just possibly?
stay well
