Liz Truss is entitled to claim up to £115,000 a year of taxpayers money in a bizarre former Prime Minister expense scheme

Liz Truss is entitled to claim up to £115,000 and live off of taxpayers money for the rest of her life, despite only being in the role for six weeks. On Wednesday October 20, Liz Truss announced her resignation as Prime Minister after just 44 days in Number 10.

The MP for South West Norfolk becomes the shortest serving Prime Minister by a considerable margin and thanks to the Public Duties Cost Allowance (PDCA) scheme - which was set up following the resignation of Margeret Thatcher - she’ll be allowed to claim back money to fund activities in public life.
