Prevent ex-prime ministers from receiving £115,000 of tax payers money.

What the petition asks
Stop Liz Truss and future Prime ministers from receiving £115,000 per year after their term is over.
The public do not want their tax money to be spent on lining the pockets of ex-prime ministers. This money encourages politicians to pursue leadership not to serve the country but to receive the benefits that come with being Prime minister. It is a corrupt and outdated policy that needs abolishing.
