Direct response to Brown calling Murdoch a liar at Leveson?

Looks like the Mail have published a clarification about where the money paid to ex Prime Ministers actually goes.

Thanks for that Satnav.
Just to clarify your posting about the clarification :wink:

:
They are only talking about the money paid to Brown (who essentially doesn't get a penny himself). There's no such claim made for Thatcher and Major.

Any chance of a comparison with what we pay up for Thatcher and Major?

Don't be silly.

Again? We had this a while back, didn't we? I thought Thatcher claimed the most.

If I remember rightly they tried something similar with Brown but got slapped down hard and had to retract it.

It seems not all Mail readers are completely thick.

No mention of the evil witch Thatcher and the millions she is costing, married to a multi-millionaire and she also made lecture tours previouslyion

I don't care. He's done more good for this country than anyone. How much do we pay for people to wipe Thatchers bum and clean her face when she's drooling?

Shall we have ALL the facts? Quote: "Figures revealed by the Cabinet Office minister, Francis Maude, in response to a written parliamentary question by the Conservative MP Philip Hollobone, show that Thatcher has received £535,000 from the state since 2006, and John Major, who set up the allowance in 1991, has received £490,000. Tony Blair has claimed since 2007 and received £273,000."
