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:

Yours sincerely,
Neale Coleman CBE
Chair, Oxford Growth Commission
