We believe this allowance is unnecessary and unjustifiable.

Successful former Prime Ministers can make significant money from book deals, consultancy & after-dinner speeches.

Unsuccessful former Prime Minsters that have performed poorly & damaged the UK should not have access to a publicly funded allowance, particularly given the parlous state of UK public finances.
