No. At most £72986.30, assuming Sunak hangs on till the very end
Is it PotG?

There is a possibility that the Gorgeous George Groovy Gang will, having labelled Sunak and Starmer 2 cheeks of the same @rse, put c. 50 pro-ceasefire candidates up. Such feeling is growing quickly.

Surely it's for, y'know, the people of Rochdale?
On a related note, how do these politicians think that anything they say, do or vote for – whether it's a pause, ceasefire or 'just carry on as you are' – will have ANY kind of bearing on the atrocities that are being carried out over in the Middle East? The whole thing is a joke and just an excuse to play party politics and try and get one up on whichever party or person they are against.

And the voters clearly thought flip flop is no better!
Maybe he can push the parties toward his preferred positions of "Vladimir Putin - he's alright really" and "Donald Trump: The real winner of the 2020 US election".

Yes you need to serve two (I believe consecutive) terms to qualify for the (generous) pension scheme. It's one of the reasons why so many 2019 Red Wall Tories are bricking it, the gravy train is leaving the station and they're stuck at the ticket barrier.
Ah how very Trump. "We didn't lose because we're not popular, it was because of everyone else deliberately trying to stop us".
