Doesn't seem unreasonable, one day a week to someone who is clearly an expert in the field. Spending £50k to save a lot more seems sensible.

Interesting that the headline is ‘to be paid £950 a day’ but it's buried deep in the story that he's only working on this 1 day a week. I'd missed that until reading your post.

Bankster thinks this is another 'gotcha' on the Labour government he hates, but actually, if this saves more than they're paying him then yes, this will be value for money. Great idea.

City lawyers are £1k an hour. Want an Oracle consultant for an ERP system, £1.7k a day.

Total non story.

The real issue is that markets have reacted poorly to this budget as there is no tangible growth in this budget, just shovelling money to unions and the public sector bodies, which won't improve anything.

I know that was then, but it could be again..

What I do has nothing to do with the government appointing someone to help save money - which is a good thing.

And as it happens I'm certainly not getting paid stupid amounts of money. There is very little work for freelancers, has been like this for a long time, I'm struggling to pay my mortgage and have had suicidal thoughts about it.

Maybe don't be a prick all your life.

Obscene isn't it.

Edit....I wonder what they got on furlough to save them from spending any savings?

Fair enough Dollars, unnecessarily personal so take it as a comment on the wider industry instead. Sadly pay has very little to do with what 'value' we provide to wider society in a true sense.

He's definitely 80 times more valuable than a scummy minimum wage type I guess.

That's quite an odd leap you've made there conflating those 2.

£50k annual investment designed to highlight areas where public spending can be more efficient doesn't sound a lot in the context of over 1 trillion of annual spend. 0.005% of savings pays back, I'm sure there are reasons to believe that's achievable with dedicated focus.

What you're all missing is that Bankster can tell the Government how to save a lot more for free. What could possibly go wrong?

Or this fella (well the people he pays to actually do the donkey work) could do it for a lot less.

You could probably say that (others could do it for less) about most jobs, but if you want someone decent you have to pay the going rate.

Look after the planet for 1 1/3 minimum wage. Now there's value for money!!

Tho a minimum wage worker is putting things on a shelf in the supermarket, whereas this bloke will be in charge of picking through elaborate, multi-million pound contracts hedged about with legal challenges. Rather involves a different level of expertise, experience and responsibility. Which relatively few people will have.

It's not about their value as a human being, but that of the work they are doing.

Remarkable that you were saying yesterday people should be paid more…but not if it’s by Starmer apparently.

I took looking after the planet to be either gardening, waste disposal or sewerage. As you say, suitably vague.

I hope all is well with you (just read your earlier comment). You know there are plenty of places to seek help if you need it (financial, emotional, mental or whatever).

On Sundays I do a bit of God stuff but that is gratis.

Yes, but you get the joy of job satisfaction and the warm satisfying glow of doing good. Surely that is compensation enough.

Pay is for those of us who do jobs we dont particularly like with the depressing knowledge that our true value to society is low.
