I save a special dislike for Reform... but is there maybe more to this than meets the eye?

He has a degree from the University of tiktok.
It is the mayor's allowance. It has gone up from £500 to £3,500. So, not huge sums of money.
Sounds like 700 per cent, don’t let a figure get in the way of a headline, Far rage wouldn’t. Milk it for all it’s worth.
So, not a pay rise as per Notch's lying thread title. Desperate, desperate Notch.
I think seven times actually is a 600% increase. Because a 100% increase would be double. I am not 100% certain, though.
It's gone up by a factor of 7, 700%. The £3000 increase is 600%.
So it’s NOT a pay rise

Scarborough Town Council’s mayoral allowance defended - BBC News
An allowance of up to £3,500 for Scarborough’s mayor raises questions.
www.bbc.co.uk
He’s a ceremonial Mayor not an elected one, it’s not primarily a political office. Why does he need such an increase for cutting a ribbon at the new Lidl’s opening, or smashing a bottle of champagne to launch HMS Cod, if Scarborough has still got a fishing industry since Brexhit.
We don't know what the role involves, so it is impossible to say. He says if the expenses aren't increased then only wealthy people could become mayor. That seems plausible. But more information is required.
