Tras can receive 920,000 lifetime allowance per year
UK government website said that despite her short term of office, she was still eligible for public position expense allowance on Thursday, a government reimbursement scheme for employees and wage expenses incurred by the former Prime Minister "due to his special status in public life" after leaving office.
However, this has attracted the contempt of some of Tras' political opponents who have called on the government to refuse to pay her because they believe she has exacerbated the turmoil in Britain's political and economic situation.

Liberal Democratic Cabinet Office spokesman Christine Jardine said in a statement: "It is impossible to allow her to obtain the same lifelong fund as several of her predecessors, who have been in office for more than two years." "The legacy left by Tras is an economic disaster - the Conservative Party is making taxpayers pay for it." She added that potential spending will "more impression on millions of people struggling with rising bills and rising mortgage rates due to the Tory economy is poorly managed."
The money has officially begun to be paid since the resignation of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in 1991. If Tras accepts a lifetime allowance, she will be the sixth former British Prime Minister to receive a lifetime allowance.
Tras's office did not comment on this.
Blair has received 8 million
According to the latest financial report released by the British Cabinet Office, two former British Prime Ministers, John Major (John Major) and Tony Blair (Tony Blair ) will continue to receive the highest amount of £115,000 per year.
" Sunday Times " reported in 2018 that Blair has received 1 million pounds (about 8.05 million yuan) from the fund so far. Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson (Boris Johnson ) is also eligible for the allowance, but the amount he received, if any, has not been made public since resigning in July.
It is reported that Tras is also entitled to obtain funds to pay for the pension expenses of his employees. This may be 10% of the £115,000 allowance, which means she can get an additional £11,500 (about 92,500 yuan) per year.
It is reported that this allowance has some regulations. According to guidance issued by the Cabinet Office, this is not intended to fund the former prime minister's private life. Allowances cannot be collected “before needing”. The former prime minister cannot receive allowances during his tenure as the leader of the UK's main opposition party. However, if the Conservatives lose their next election and become the UK's main opposition, Tras is still eligible for her as she has resigned from the party's leader. The guidance also stipulates that if Ms. Tras accepts any other government office, the level of allowance will be reviewed.
Conservative Party Leadership Election Voting ended at the end of the month
According to CCTV News, on October 20 local time, Tras said that given the current situation, she could not fulfill the promises she made during the Conservative Party’s election. The election campaign for the new Conservative leader will be held next week.
Tras, 47, has therefore become the shortest-term Prime Minister in British history. At this time, it has only 45 days since her official position on September 6.
