British minister resigns because his annual salary of 140,000 euros does not allow him to pay for his house. George Freeman said he was "exhausted" and "depressed" after having held five ministerial posts under four successive prime ministers.
Now, in addition to his annual MP salary of £86,584 (around €100,000), George Freeman can take on other lucrative jobs, something he was not allowed to do as a minister. He also mentions a “painful divorce” which affected his financial situation.
