Boris Johnson 'says Cabinet minister's salary of £141,000 is not enough to live on'

Edited

Not a smart statement at all!

edit: It's not as bad when viewed in context

Boris Johnson has told friends his minister’s salary of £141,405 a year is not enough to live on, according to reports.

The Foreign Secretary told friends his annual earnings were insufficient because of his “extensive family responsibilities”, according to a report in The Sunday Times.

He isn't exactly known for a long history of smart statements.

"Orientals have larger brains and higher IQ scores. Blacks are at the other pole."

Speaking about Al-Assad last year:

"Hooray, I say. Bravo – and keep going."

This wasn't a statement though. This was a private conversation with friends.

True, but I doubt he will get much sympathy anyway. To someone earning a tenth of what he is, context is going to be unimportant.
