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?!?
random thoughts@cstross So, India just sent something to the moon for £58M, so almost for the price of two Liz Trusses, we can send her there too.
I think that's something we can afford.
Axel Foley@hittitezombie @cstross Don't we (the UK) still give India Foreign Aid ?
@Roadwarrior29 @cstross This launch is relatively cheap compared to the effort. Also it's an investment for the future tech industry, also it's a big country. Finally we should be able to afford the foreign aid, or could before Brexit.
@Roadwarrior29 @hittitezombie Direct financial aid to the Indian government ended in 2015. The budget for "aid" since then has diminished and is now basically a subsidy for British exports.

Didn't they send something to Mars at around that price point a few years ago?

Killa Koala@hittitezombie Until recently you could have sent her to the Titanic for like £200,000.

Surely, we don't need to send her all the way...? Just anywhere out of the atmosphere will do
