Although the time as prime minister is short, Truss is eligible to receive the money...

　　China News Service, October 21. According to the US "New York Times" report on the 20th, British Prime Minister Truss, who has just announced his resignation, will be eligible for a lifetime allowance of 115,000 pounds per year.

　　It is a government reimbursement scheme to pay for staff and wages incurred after the former prime minister left office "because of his special status in public life", according to the UK government's website.

　　Some of Trus's political opponents, though, dismissed it.

They argued that the payment should not have been made for Truss because of her role in Britain's political and economic turmoil.

　　"It is impossible to allow her to receive the same £115,000-a-year allowance as her predecessor, who had served for more than two years," Jardin, a spokesman for the Lib Dem Cabinet Office, said in a statement.

She believes the fallout from Truss' administration is "an economic disaster. The Conservatives are making taxpayers pay for it".

　　The money has been standard since Margaret Thatcher stepped down as prime minister in 1991, and if accepted, Truss would become the sixth former British prime minister to receive a lifetime allowance, according to the New York Times.

At present, former British prime ministers John Major and Tony Blair continue to receive annual allowances of up to £115,000.

　　The Sunday Times reported in 2018 that Blair had so far received £1m from the allowance.

Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson is also eligible for the allowance.

　　In addition, the New York Times reported that Truss is also entitled to funds to pay his staff pensions, which can amount to up to 10% of a £115,000 allowance.

　　However, according to the guidance issued by the British Cabinet, this allowance is not to provide financial support for the former prime minister's private life, and the receipt is also subject to certain restrictions. If you cannot apply for it "before you need it", the former prime minister cannot receive it if he is the leader of the main opposition party.

Moreover, the guidelines also stipulate that if Truss takes over any other public office, the level of allowances will be reviewed.

　　As of the evening of the 20th, the "New York Times" has not yet received a comment from Tesla's office.
