I'm sure if you asked the general public 'Should politicians be paid at all?' then you'd get this result. (It's the unweighted poll but I don't expect the results to change much.)
I guess you can go with various choices like 'available cash/bank savings + £50k', 'financial wealth + £50k' or 'net worth + £50k'. Depends on what you want to count. Focusing on liquid financial wealth, anyway you shake it £50k alone would itself be a very substantial addition to these figures.
It may be absurd in a spherical cow situation, but in real life it's contextual. It's risk management for a very high EV gamble. The £50k is guaranteed, so you can reframe not losing the flip as a loss of £50k rather than a gain of £50k. Full Kelly says bet 47.5% of pot. bsky.app/profile/seaw...

That was someone else's word, but yes, there's some limited stats although it's under researched and data is largely withheld by the DWP: jech.bmj.com/content/70/4... - covering the 2010 - 13 period, austerity's start. Reports an additional 6 suicides per 10,000 people reassessed.

Thinking I might start freezing washing-up bowls' worth of ice and using that to help cool down my house in future heatwaves. (Wasn't at mine during the worst of this week, not back until Monday, so I've had no chance yet to test my brainwave.)
Huh, my first thought reading that post was of Man-Spider instead.
Well, until we invent The Death Clock and can give everyone an exact 20 years of retirement…
