So we're left with £590 per week to pay for motoring expenses, eating out, holidays and staff?

Fúck off. Impossible.

Obviously you can live reasonably comfortably on £70k (assuming you don't have a mortgage, naturally) but 'rich'? Absolute nonsense.

Shows how out of touch with ordinary people the left is.
It's definitely not 'Monty Money'

and if you are on a 70k salary you are going to live in a different way. Therefore you will most likely have a higher mortgage than others as you've perhaps bought a more expensive place and more expensive to run and maintain car.
