As a long-term CSD, DH would have been earning 40K+. He is reputed to get 70K+ from his job with BASSA, giving a total of 110K+.
He lost his job, so is reduced to the 70K+. He must relinquish that post at the next election, thus leaving him with just his BA pension.
His hope was to be granted a sinecure by Unite, but his last two wobblies have enraged the top brass there, so probably put the kibosh on that.
Is it any wonder the poor luvvy is deranged?
