Charlie StrossLiz Truss paid £15,770 an hour for second jobs - as outside earnings of MPs revealed
In what mad universe is a politician so incompetent they nearly destroyed the pension system in less than two months worth a salary that works out at £32M a year?!?

It's not even as though the money is to buy influence. Surely she has no influence, right?
Besides, is there anyone whose ear is worth £15k to whisper into for an hour, who you'd want to be accessing by playing a game of whispers via Liz Fucking Truss?
I think some people have way more money than sense, and they enjoy playing at Being Rich People by very aggressively not caring about value for money.
@petealexharris Truss *is* in tight with the Tufty Club and the Tufty Club has Tories on all its tentacle tips (and quite a few Labour front benchers too) as well as famously opaque funding from non-dom billionaires.

Actually, yeah, maybe it's shrewd to have your go-between for sinister machinations be too thick to understand what's going on.
