- From cricket to (lots of) book writing, former Prime Ministers have to find something to do after having the country's top job.
These are the perks they keep, the ones they lose and some career options from Prime Ministers past.

"a large garden, perfect for entertaining."
Damn, Sky News getting in on the shade.
The whole thing was shady!
@@grapefives7762 EYYYYYYY 🤣
Let's be honest everyone hearing that all thought the same thing... No business meetings today.
I was gonna say the same 😂😂😂
getting in on the shade....means?
Boris Johnson would probably be welcome in the Peppa Pig franchise.
OMG!! 🤣
🤣
LMAOOOOOO
David Cameron has apparently been banned for life
@@ciarand2823 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I still laugh about May‘s last speach, and her crying, but meanwhile I have to hand her that, she at least showed passion and love for what she was doing, not saying she did it right or wrong, but at least she was passionate
Like hitler
Tresemmé
@@BobGnarly420 Oh dear I feel so bad for laughing at this
@@BobGnarly420 imagine comparing Theresa may, a milquetoast conservative, to Hitler. lol
@@TheAmericanPrometheus i think that’s the funny
Brown and May seems to be the only exPM's with any decency and empathy
Don't think they aren't raking the money in on the speech circuit they are loaded and let's not forget the generous pension off the taxpayers
What a Wojak comment.
Major?
@@duncanlittle6394 I’m labour but agree- he’s a top man.
@@kb4903 he's like Boris couldn't keep his hands off other women 🙄
Pursue wealth in the private sector. Everyone knows that.
As oppose to generating it for the private sector whilst in office..
Correction, both jobs are the same:
Conservatives: “Getting paid to generate wealth for the private sector”
OF COURSE, he’ll go back to the quagmire which is the right leaning press as well as write a untruthful memoir of his time in Downing St.
Paying back favours received
They spend their time in No. 10 cutting all of our throats in order to fund multinational companies and then take major jobs in them once they leave. Nope, no self-serving corruption there!
They leave , and go on to make millions , are we supposed to feel sorry for them.
1:23 Larry the cat has deservedly outstayed everyone... Poor Larry, we owe him the title of PM for life! The true MVP!
He will remove all taxes on fish produce.
@@Kathakathan11 😂 👍
Now I understand why politics is definitely a career and attracts the highly ambitious, mostly not for actually serving your country.
Time to stop the circus. It seems we're attracting the wrong sort of person to politics. They're all completely unsuitable
@@mypointofview1111 Want to have a dictatorship or what?
Absolutely, the ones going into politics, go for the money they can get out of it. They don't give a f..k how many people they stamp on either in order to get rich.
It’s the opposite, private sector pays way more so the best talents do not want to be an MP
'Some bring happiness wherever they go, some whenever they go' - Oscar Wilde.
Good old Oscar Wilde ☺️

All British Prime Ministers since many decades have been loathsome.
may is still an MP. and she still serves in the parliament every day.
may deadass d worded a decade ago bruv
I am a socialist so naturally I really dislike the Tories but even I feel bad for Theresa May. Unlike some (cough cough Boris) she actually respected the job and the honour and responsibilities it comes with. I almost feel like, since Brexit has gone through, she should try again, I mean how hard can it be to get your job back from a guy who thinks it's normal for the PM & staff to be drunk at a businesses meeting.
I mean as Tories go, she was alright. Should have never been the PM taking the UK out of the EU as she was a remainer herself.
She was only in there for like 2 years If I remember correctly so she'd be well within her rights to do so. But she didn't exactly come out fighting , she got ravaged by the sharks towards the end and that is not a good look going into the vicious leadership scrap that would inevitably follow the power vaccum left by Boris's scandalous exit. Which I might add is looking ever more likely by the day.
@@tommyhoul1han It would have been funny if she secretly kept the UK in the EU, but just played along with the Brexiters. 🤣
Who do u guys think will most likely be the next PM?
@@muhammadHassan-kj1jy I don't know much about Tory power dynamics and quite frankly to avoid projectile vomiting, I'd like to keep it that way, all I will say is, I think Theresa May should tell Boris Johnson that she's coming for her job back.
What doesn’t usually happen is they get investigated for fraud and treason.
They should.
Like America does. This is why we await Trump prison term after January 3rd.
There’s an excellent chance that BoJo will dye his hair red and go work for Dr. Bunsen Honeydew as his assistant…
I hope Bojo stays longer. I want him to feel comfortable :)
Imagine going for a job interview & having Ex-Prime Minister on your C-V 😁
Boris could always resurrect Bill Maynard's TV character, Selwyn Froggitt.
Could star in the heartbeat reboot as Claude Greengrass
"Magic" (Thumb up).
Liz Truss is probably watching this today and taking notes.
Have cash thrown at them by both private and public sector -- at least thats what happened to Tony Bliar.
Tony Blair deserved the Mousolini treatment for being a war criminal.
Tory Be-Liar
Tony sounds like a clever guy. He's been advising my president (Mr Kagame) and my country has been doing wonders since.
@Mr Avant I have read that john major works for Soros in Seattle. Clegg , i believe, works for facebook. No need to lose any sleep over this shower , best gone.
The day Boris Johnson leaves Downing Street, it will be a big step in the right direction, having policy proposals that can be delivered, rather than snappy soundbites that sound good on paper to those that swallow the rhetoric whole, but in practice are impossible to deliver, raising more questions than answers. Above all, it will drain the swamp of corruption that is overflowing at the moment
No brexit will continue whenever he leaves
@@simonsmalley7976 what as an ever evolving unresolvable mess?
Nope, the next reptile will just step in, do what is asked of them and then leave to become very very rich
Hes not going anywhere! Its not American pollitics!
@@stephenwalsh4481 of course it's not American politics, credit where it's due, Tories have (historically at least) been pretty brutal about getting rid of their leaders. After all, despite the fact that she was ahead of Michael Hesletine in the leadership election in 1990, Margaret Thatcher was still ultimately pressured to resign because a large majority of her colleagues felt that she couldn't beat him in a straight fight (which I always found baffling, but that was the decision they made). Given the can of worms about the "do what we say, not what we do," attitude with which Johnson's government runs, and the negative national response (even in Tory backing publications), it's surely only a matter of time before he's forced out
The biggest perk is to have a party in your backyard during the pandemic restrictions.
thatcher definitely did a very respectful thing after she left office: dying
But she didn't die for many years and, whilst resigning her parliamentary seat, still kept interfering with Major's government decrying his policies on Europe and encouraging the right wing brexiters. Not such a fine legacy then, but voters especially in the North seem to have forgotten her destructive impact on jobs and social infrastructure when they blame Labour for economic decline.
👌
Hope your mum went the same way old lady
23 years doesn't really count.
Lmfao💀 she was ahead of her time tho. People just didn’t see it imo
He could always get a job at peppa pig land once all this is over
He can play as Peppa’s boyfriend that her dad disapproves.
Funny how so many of them suddenly become very very rich. Any ideas why?
It's a poser, that one.
Cheer up comrade
They move into, and exist in, a strange kind of netherworld in which they are neither dead nor quite fully alive - they go into a kind of permanent limbo. I remember when Cameron resigned and the next six people he asked for a game of tennis all said they would love to...when they could find the time; of course, they never did "find the time" as Cameron was now out of power and there was no benefit to them to play tennis with him.
Source?
A prison would be the ideal place for them to retire to.especially our current pm.
Why
“If I know my flaws, I correct them. If I know evil, I avoid it.
It is when I do not know them, or when I consider them essences, that they are harmful”. Khaled Bentounes, 20th Century.
Especially after having been on the bloody job for 6 weeks!
They find other ways to steal a living. Like speaking at conferences where they mostly say uninteresting stuff.
I think if I were a prime minister leaving, the thing I would miss most is Larry the cat. Having had that companion there when I was alone going over matters of the state.
A docile, loving, faithful Lab would be a better choice.
On second thought, it would be cruel for a Lab to have to live with a new master every few years.
This has aged quite well.
Voters should get to vote whether we want a former PM getting the Public Duty Cost Allowance, I can imagine some PMs we can do without in public life ...
*cough cough* boris Johnson
Two many still getting paid and perks. When a new one comes in , the old one should back out , to many old or find another job.That is how things get
A PM like Liz Truss will be thinking about the people of the UK ,but more importantly, the size of the PMs payment. Rishi would be the same,their Conservatives after all.🇬🇧
Totally agree and on second home allowance and all expenses claimed, I'm sure if there was such a vote it would be a resounding NO to all !! 😡😡😡😡😡
@@Mr4fksake agreed, I don't want my bloody tax money lining Boris' fat pockets to pay off whoever he shags next to keep quiet about baby number 9
Lizzie truss is now watching this
£81,932 he'll get to keep as an MP. Maybe it was originally £80,000 but since he became PM this salary had risen by a set amount each week he's been in office. A booster for being PM.
This characters have no idea what it's like to feel an economic crisis. They live in their utopian bubble.
Wouldn't give up Larry
Boris Johnson about to watch this video for some tips
This was actually interesting. Can’t wait for bojo to go
And he’s gone!
For the first time starmer is peacefully sitting next to Boris
😆
The salaries of most politicians and the Prime Minister should be much lower so that we do not end up with people like Boris, who want the title but not the job.
problem is they make all that $ off of book deals and outside engagement or are already wealthy by the time they get to the job and can’t really control that
that garden and balcony is now infamously called boris's balcony.
Still makes me chuckle watching may’s resignation
Hello
please! they get paid enough for doing a below par job. most people who lose their job and house can't afford to eat! let alone 115k per year for nothing!
Funny thing is that when they want to add Liz Truss to this piece they only have to extend it about 15 seconds. Because that's how long she was in office as PM.
What is to be admired is the grace in retiring... not hounded out like in some other countries!
I'm not sure I'd call the route Boris chose 'retiring gracefully'. If that's what he wanted, he could and should have done it a while ago.
@@thatmarchingarrow as graceful as when he hung on that zip line as a mayor 😆
“Tearful exit.” I didn’t see a tear shed by Thatcher. She was emotional to be sure but held it in. May on the other hand couldn’t keep it together
I don’t know, ask Liz Truss or something.
Who’s here after Boris Johnson resigned?
Smooth Transition from mophead boris to spongehead Liz truss
@@swarnalathavemuri3170 throw in some of Maggie's seething hatred for the working class and she's just Boris with a slightly bigger wig
Y'all still here after he left parliament?
I'd just retire as a hermit in a secluded Japanese castle.
What do Prime Ministers do after they leave Downing Street? Cash in. When the powers gone the money is all that's left. Second division though it might be.
When Maggie left we damn well cheered.
Pity we didn't get a chance to dance on her grave when she died. There was a long, long queue for that
1:02
'perfect for parties'
Come on we where all thinking that
What's happening in UK politics?
It doesn't look good! Too many resignations, too many disagreements and internal conflict!
It would be great for those individuals,after completed the tenured of the country top job/post as a PM(PRIMEMINISTER),of a nation would be to become speaker of the House in Parliament.
Wonderful explanation.
Boris Johnson is like your creepy distant uncle that shows up on Christmas with an oddly weird haircut and a 3-day old smoked salmon under his shirt.
To answer the question, I assume they all crawl back into their respective dungeons or coffins once they've finished being monsters.
What do former Prime ministers do when they leave Downing St? Usually, but with the odd exception make shed loads of money.
Boris will set a new trend for delivering dinner speeches to trump supporters and Russian oligarchs
They live like kings 👍
The royal family has larger pressure
But not King of the world, sadly for Boris
I thought it was the same as when they were in office,carry on with their coruption and incompetance
@6:55 should be Uxbridge and South Ruislip
They usually work for the companies they supported and facilitated deals for while in office ie tobacco and financial corporations and pharmaceutical conglomerates etc , etc , etc.
They travel around, visiting their friends running the big companies, picking up cheques for the favours they have done. The odd non-exec directors job here, the odd consultancy fee here.
I respect the leadership of UK, us as Africans we should emulate that! Leading people with passion and principles.
I come from the UK.... Please emulate the European Union's and the European nation's way. They are better.
As a African we only want still all the money and let our ppl died for hunger shame on African political
@@nada9333 The British Empire fucked things up for places like Africa. I hate my own country, and I love the European Union's way; and also Israel.
@Kevin Dream on , they have no principles but do have a passion for money.
This is in Liz Truss's 'Watch Later' playlist
Leave voluntarily or involuntarily the two have contrasting differences …those being forced to leave or may I say flee well they have seek refuge
Plus they’ll get the eternal “thanks” of those corporations they helped while in office.
They make inordinate amounts of money talking bollocks to students. Next question
Them are some crazy perks
In the past being a head of state was the pinnacle of peoples careers and life. Now is just a stepping stone, a revolving door to lucrative corporate career , lobbying by being paid to give “ speeches “ .
go to the carribean.
Cannot wait for Boris Johnsons Resign Speech. I've got 🍿 🍿 ready for the big event!!
Boris is really that bad? I'm sorry i'm not british but i like british politics.
What I would really like to know is.
Whey was there such a concern about who would take over. when Boris was in hospital for covid...I always heard of deputy prime minister. But this time there was a commotion .that there's no one. who would be in charge.if Boris becomes unable to
Makes decision... Did they get rid of the deputy Premier.few years before .
Boris watched and subscribed 😂😂😂😂
Pretty sure BoJo’s next chapter begins with HMP… or should be at least
But in Sri Lanka Prime Ministers never left office to see ( in my lifetime I am 58 now) what they do after leaving.
Live in London XD
Brilliant timing for Boris’ resignation 🤣
Thanks to support 🥰
not the media framing it as if boris is already gone. i for one welcome this framing
They'll be rich enough to live in mansions for the rest of their lives anyway, I don't see why they would complain about leaving No.10.
This was prophetic!
Get paid 115k per year for the rest of their life apparently
The elites always look after themselves very, very well. Sirs, baronesses, etc, etc, etc. Liars stay liars.
Gordon Brown indeed is a true gentleman.
Since 1976 there have been 9 Prime Ministers. Callaghan, Major and Brown all were voted out of Number 10 - but 6 of them resigned from the office (Wilson, Thatcher, Blair, Cameron, May and Johnson)
How many were voted in by the public?
@@oomz1975 Jim Callaghan and Gordon Brown were never voted in.
A big hope from UK government! Hong Kong students are holding PSW visa but UK government still requesting sponsorship to allow them get job offer in UK even though they studied many years in UK and graduated in UK University. This is really very difficult for a new graduate student who wants to start their career in UK. This is not even the same offer for BNO holder and this is real unfair to all these HK students who studied in UK many years. This is really upset for HK students in UK…
They use the revolving door and policies they introduced while PM yo make themselves and their colleagues rich.
I actually think I could run the country
I think even Larry the cat would do a better job than most MPs.
I would make the UK part of the us we gotta take revenge for the taxes
@@mr.fahrenheit7009 that would be perfect, petroleum would be about 80 cents a gallon… instead of £1.50 for a LITRE!!!! Wtf
@@mr.fahrenheit7009 and lucky charms wouldn’t be £5 a box lol
Gordon Brown 👍
The shots fired in this video 😂😂
Blair should be at the hauge not Westminster on the jolly boys party
Become Foreign Secretary.
I do like it
The flat and the big garden
And the lovely cat and of course a lot of money 😜🙋
When Johnson was ousted from Downing Street he ploted to be again in Downing Street
Who is here after Boris Johnson resign
They’ve got the salary for the rest of their days, then a gold plated pension , what do they do , live of their greed and become more corrupt than ever I think 🧐.
Yet they have increased the pension age for the general public. It looks as if Truss will be in power for only a short period of time yet she would still get a substantial pension for the rest of her life .... the whole thing stinks!!
@@beverlyjones8156 yeah , everyone has to work longer to fund the gravy train , big wealthy companies stopped Final Salary Pension schemes because they became too expensive to maintain while government ensured their pensions were protected, the British electorate essentially being the cash cow , even though they’re well paid , they live off expenses as much as they can get away with .
Ted Heath was offered to become our Ambassador to the US and Nato but declined either posting
Good job guys
Imagine turning the comments off after Julian Assange wins against being extradited to the USA🤡
His ego will destroy him.
Boris Johnson? The same as Boris Yeltsin: Vodka
I love the optimisme of having johnson on the thumbnail
