THIS high on the hog? They're taking the wossname, aren't they?

Baroness Ashton, as EU foreign secretary, is being paid £313,213 a year – almost two-and-a-half times British Foreign Secretary William Hague’s salary of £138,000. [And 25 per cent more than the President of the United States.]

Ashton’s annual pension after five years as EU foreign secretary plus one year as EU Trade Commissioner will be £62,925.

When she leaves Brussels, she will get moving expenses and a golden handshake of an astonishing £445,674.
