i think its different when you're in or out of power who all of a sudden wants you on their books?
Also the "second jobs" definition is quite precise, i think theres other ways people get money (occasional speaking gig, consultancy gig etc), not a contracted job.
Labour spokesperson said Labour does have MPs with second jobs, such as some doctor or other... before Starmer became leader he was earning legal advice monies whilst an MP
Labour dont sound interested in saying all such gigs should be stopped outright, and I get the impression thats because there are too many Lab MPs it effects.

You'll end up with a load of also runs in the tent getting pissed on by the compitent, at distance. (or rather its like that now, you'll just make that worse). Won't comment on Cox, not without hearing what backups he put in place for his constiuents. He is big gun. FC&DO must, at some level, appreciate the hedging he's providing . Keeps everything on a sympathic same page (theoretically)
 
won't comment on Cox

its all online sir

also he habit of declaring late his earning to poltical watchdogs

oh fuck off if we don't let corrupt wankers run the country we won't have the best people doing it

whilst no member of the public really gives a shit about politics anymore as they are all detestable wankers

Its not all online.
Be a massive breach of confidentality if it was.
Blood hunting journos may well be feelers out in West Devon for constiuents who reached out to Mr Cox in the time frame that might feel let down, and there may well be some (don't know) but if you've b ever been to a surgery half the stuff they get taken to task over ain't really their's to deal with... County Concil or whatever, plus they have staff.

I;m not disaproving with with the cynisn of considering them all the make, But as much as there are thems that treat the Parliament as casino, it troubles me to simplify it back to ...that ones playing slot machines different. cos its IS a casino and theres more than one game going on. Don't know the ins and outs of the BVI case either, except FCO rooting for other side .... except that appeal would be a HoL thing so therefore I don't blame his client for getting a former Attonery General from the governing party (and one with legal training). Yes he is in a hay making position and yes, green eye is a thing.. But he's at the sharp end of a part of FP right now.

No its a case by case, and expericence informs me that one will be more compicated than stated and picking at it messy.and he's a silk so it wont be rooted in what he's advocating but the why or looking like possibly where. But i really have got less of a problem with that (he's a licensed proffeional plying his trade, than the sales contracts for stuff like PPE, covid tests. Arthur Daley type dealing. Though he's political toast if media find a distrested Devon widow whose husband wrote repeatedly to his oofice , got no help so he topped himself type thing

sadly the answer is probably godbothering freaks, libertarian ideologues and the independently wealthy lord of the manor types (like the old days when one son of the estate went into business, one looked after the farm/estate and the least useful one went into politics to help keep things as they were)

Easy to find out though

Revealed - how many MPs are landlords

A website has lifted the lid on how many MPs in the current parliament are landlords.
www.landlordtoday.co.uk www.landlordtoday.co.uk

115 apparently most though not all Tories

My point precisely, Those who were ministers under Cameron and May will all know him on a first name basis (not all of them will hate his guts) it would be a lot easier for them to call him up and say "Boris do us a favour mate" than someone who left office 10 or 15 years ago.

Seeing how Johnson fucked over Cow-Patterson after trying to do him a favour, perhaps some might, now, be rather wary about making that call

Being able to say that you are a member of the party in power, does wonders for your CV.
 
Yet another reason why the current system is lacking credibility. Governance by something similar to jury service, with ordinary people doing a years training and then 4 years government, then back to obscurity and their lives/work. Probably cheaper, no voting, no parties with bias, just democratic process.

It could work but probably wouldn't. Even our uncorruptable Ming Flanagan showed that all politicians are corrupt when he accepted an offer to have points removed from his driving license, twice!
What's needed is an automatic 5 - 10 year prison sentence for any politician guilty of corruption.
 
If an MP is complaining that he/she/pronouns has to work several jobs because she/he/pronouns doesnt get paid enough as an MP, then the solution is not to pay MP`s more, but to tell them that they should not become an MP if they dont like the pay! Of course some of the upper classes become MP`s for the alterior reasons!

See my earlier post. One of my local MPs is Dr Rosina Allin Khan who is a Dr at At Georges Hospital. She certainly helped out there during covid
 
Forget money for a minute. An MP is elected to serve the community. I know they get lots of expenses on top of their basic to help pay people to answer letters etc. In some instances they lend their name to put on headed paper in return for a small fee But shouldnt serving the community be a full time job what with several days a week in the house, a day a week holding a surgery and a day or so a week visiting worthy causes to help their cause. Should they have any free time to do even a few hours on the side?
 
Stop playing that toploader cover of dancing in the moonlight. Not that it gets played much but it’s awful.

All MP's situations are different and its down to them to call the ball on what they think the job is about and face the wrath of their electorate should it disagree. Had an MP once, with a large majority who seemed to do square root of fuck all consituency wise but did loads relating to the select committee he was on (personally thought he was shit at that too). And don't think its all about visiting worthy causes there's fuck tonnes of factors that impact on how the communities MPs are elected to represent.

Demand a seven day parliament

I see the government wants gps available seven days a week. But this principle doesn't go far enough. Libraries, hospitals and indeed shopping centres are open seven days a week. But parliament spends around a third of the year closed, meaning councillors and MEPs have to take up a burden which...
