PR Consultancies Reject Ex Labour Party Advisers
Former Labour Party advisers are being passed over for senior roles in PR consultancies because of ‘unrealistic’ salary demands.
Scores of Labour advisers have entered the jobs market following the party’s general election defeat on 6 May, but only a handful of unemployed Labour aides have secured roles in lobbying and PR.
Agency bosses have revealed that most ex-Labour aides were demanding more than £80,000 per annum – with some expecting to be paid as much as £100,000.
A senior figure at one of the UK’s biggest PR consultancies said: ‘You pay that for a director, but there’s not a hope in hell that some of these people will earn that.
‘They are adding these sums on to what they were paid in government, but it’s completely unrealistic. They need to get in the real world.’
