Surely even the Tories can’t think that rolling the dice for the fourth time in eight years has no chance of coming back and biting them on the arse, and for what? Johnson’s got a chunky enough majority that he can see off pretty much any rebellion from his own MPs, at best he’s adding two more years on to the end of that. There’s very little to gain here and a lot to lose.

Basic starting salary for a soldier is about £20k. Single Living Accomodation charges will be deducted from that. Those soldiers that are married/have a family will probably be in Service Families Accommodation, which does have subsidised rent, but all other bills are paid as normal.
