Cam’s Goodbye Giveaway for Tory Advisers
Former PM showered his mates with gold as he left Number 10, having cut Civil Service pay

DAVID CAMERON over-ruled senior civil servants to hand his political advisors inflated golden goodbyes worth over £1 million in one of his last decisions as prime minister.

Mr Cameron’s spin doctors and aides were already entitled to walk away from Downing Street with severance pay worth a total of £747,045 — equivalent to 4.5 months’ pay each — after their boss was forced to resign.

But before leaving No 10 he demanded that be increased so his political pals, who already earn up to £140,000 a year, get six months’ wages as an end-of-run bonus.
