HOT: Johnny Mercer Pays His Wife £45K Yearly To Be His Secretary

As well as abandoning Homeless veterans, Johnny Mercer also pays his wife £45,000 a year to be a secretary.

Employing your spouse/relative was supposed to be banned in 2017. But they don’t care.

Not only does he employ her, he MASSIVELY overpays her.

Johnny Mercer suggests his Labour rival “served five minutes in uniform”

He spent seven years in the Royal Marines becoming a Captain. Johnny Mercer hit out at TV star Carol Vorderman and his Labour election rival Fred Thomas after they shared figures revealing a rise in homelessness among armed forces veterans. Mr Thomas, a former Royal Marine, said he was “furious” and asked if Mr Mercer would apologise for his “abject failure”.

Ms Vorderman shared the Labour candidate’s post, sparking an angry reaction from the top Tory. Veterans’ Minister Mr Mercer accused them of “deliberately misleading” the public “because that makes your s*** lonely life feel better.”

And he went on to rant at Ms Vorderman, who he has clashed with before: “No one normal really cares about your view. They think you’re mad. I’m changing veterans lives. What I came into politics to do.”
