Minister who quit after 36 hours could be entitled to £17k severance payment

Not bad work if you can get it!

Former education secretary Michelle Donelan could be in line for a bumper payout- despite only being in the job for 36 hours.

Boris Johnson gave her the job as he desperately tried to prop up his government in response to a mass exodus of ministers.

But around 36 hours into her job, she announced her departure, writing that there is ‘no way’ the prime minister can stay in post.

Johnson has since signalled his intentions to resign, but Donelan’s short spell in office could tee her up for a tidy payout.

Ministers who leave office are granted a severance payment, which generally equals three months of their annual ministerial salary.

Based on current earnings, that equates to £16,876.25, according to Guido reports.

Not bad work if you can get it!

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
