When Glenys Kinnock quit her job as an MEP, it looked as though her days on a public-funded salary were over. Yet a surprise call from Number 10 has seen the wife of the former Labour Party leader make the seamless transition from a £63,291-a-year euro MP to the £83,275-a-year Europe Minister in Gordon Brown's troubled government. The appointment, coupled with the fact that she will be joining her husband Neil (Baron Kinnock of Bedwellty), in the House of Lords marks an astonishing political - and financial - coup for the former primary school teacher from south Wales.
