When Sunak loses the election they will have to leave the country to protect her assets as labour will likely change rules costing them a fortune.
There is some poor reporting going on there.
> earned more than the combined parliamentary salaries of all Labour MPs in 2023 as she is poised to collect another £6.8 million dividend.
They are comparing her dividend income to the base MPs salary. I’m fairly certain there are a good number of MPs who have income in addition to their basic MP wages.

I don’t think it’s family owned, all the family members combined have less than 5% of the shares. The main shareholders seem to be insurance and investment companies.
Have to wonder why such a wealthy family would want a 130k a year public service role.
Tory generally come from money.
They have money gifted to them. Or it’s inherited.
Labour MPs generally don’t.
This is why the Conservatives are always against pay-rises for MPs.
Because they know that if ZERO MPs get pay rises, or even better, MPS salaries are CUT, Labour members will get really hurt personally, Tories will not, as they’ve got massive trust funds or inherited property etc so who cares?
And more importantly they know that daft Labour supporters will AGREE that MPs should be paid less, always paid less.
So Labour are seen as the bad guys – as Tories stand there and shout to the masses *’MP’s deserve less of the public purse – less tax payers money. Why are your Labour MPs so damn greedy with their salary demands – we wouldn’t take those salaries that they’re demanding – if we had our way, all MPs would work for £20k a year – I WOULD’* then smirk into their pints and quickly check their £4m of stock options and £22K a month from rent, as the crowd cheers.
It’s more complex than it initially appears – but basically, it’s an easy open goal for Tories wanting to steal some Left-leaning votes.
