GB News: House of Commons sparks FURY with ‘Inclusion and Diversity Lead’ job - staggering salary and perks REVEALED
The House of Commons has faced criticism for hiring a Diversity and Inclusion Lead at a salary of £66,000, plus substantial pension contributions, amid rising taxpayer burdens. The new role includes 30 days of annual leave and can largely be performed remotely, raising concerns about public sector efficiency.
Despite plans to cut 10,000 civil service jobs, critics argue this move reflects a bloated workforce with declining productivity. The Civil Service has reached a record high of 546,000 employees, with many questioning the necessity of additional diversity roles.
