Boris Johnson thinks he’s “overburdened and underpaid” – 9 very unsympathetic reactions
If you feel you’ve been having a hard time because of the effect of the lockdown on the economy or because your job only pays minimum wage, spare a thought for the poor Prime Minister, as he has to make do on a mere *checks notes* £150,000.

The air was heavy with sarcasm.
Boris and Carrie only have a single cleaner and are worried they won't be able to afford a nanny. I'm sure millions will sympathise. pic.twitter.com/aU4Flp8CW2

I know some people think care workers and nurses have it tough, but the Prime Minister only has one cleaner, has to walk through an office to his rose garden, pay for his own dinner, AND support his many children from his paltry £150,000 salary.

Not to mention fury.
I fucking despair at a country where a footballer is having to fight for kids to not go hungry and the media puts out a 'woe is me' article about our Eton idiot PM not being paid enough and having to pay for food with his £150k salary. https://t.co/2Cllg4MBsD

There was also this helpful advice.
Hi @BorisJohnson I'm sorry to hear you are struggling on £150k. I get ESA, which for the over 25s is less than £4k per year. If you need any help with budgeting, do not hesitate to contact me or contact your local jobcentre, @CitizensAdvice or @StepChange for help. #PoorBoris

Before care workers and nurses complain about their pay, they ought to try surviving on just £150k a year, without so much as a £2,750 an hour column in The Telegraph.
