It may be eye watering to you but in the overall scheme of things it’s well below that of many other countries.
There’s no doubt the current standard of UK Ministers and shadow ministers is well below what’s desired. It won’t change for the better until the level of remuneration attracts more talented people to a career in UK politics.
Some of the leaders of EU countries receive more than twice the UK Prime Ministers salary.
