Back in May Labour appointed Jeremy Corbyn’s former head of policy Neale Coleman as chairman of the Oxford Growth Commission. The self-described “committed socialist” hasn’t been left short of change – naturally at the taxpayers’ expense – since landing the plum role…
In a letter to Tory Party Chairman Kevin Hollinrake seen by Guido, ‘Comrade Coleman’ has admitted he is pocketing a tidy £570 a day. He works just two days a week to offer advice on infrastructure in the area. That’s a cool £59,280 a year for the part-time job. That’s equivalent to a £148,000 annual salary. What would Jezza say…
Read Coleman’s admission below:
Dear Mr Hollinrake
I understand you have asked for details of my remuneration as Chair of the Oxford Growth Commission. I receive £570 per day of work, and it was expected the role would require 2 days of work a week on average. This has proved correct over the first two months of work.
Yours sincerely,
Neale Coleman CBE
Chair, Oxford Growth Commission
