Should UK MPs be allowed second (or even third) jobs whilst serving MPs?

Cossy

PART TIME! Never, some don’t even fulfil their obligations now. I’m assuming if they are Part Time we would pay them accordingly, trim their expense accounts and get rid of second home rules??

That idea, together with a parliamentary OFSTED assessing the progress they have made, would keep their minds focused on the job they’re being paid over £90K +expenses to do.

Nigel Farage’s £90k p.a is small fry. He earns £98k a month for presenting on GB news.

Farage earns more than £1m a year for non-MP work www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9wjgkr1750o

Extract from Farage's declaration:

Name of donor: Mr Christopher Harborne
Address of donor: private
Estimate of the probable value (or amount of any donation): Flights and accommodation for me and one staffer, value £32,836
Destination of visit: United States
Dates of visit: 17 July 2024 to 19 July 2024
Purpose of visit: To support a friend [unnamed] who was almost killed and to represent Clacton on the world stage.

So Harborne, the donor behind Brexit and Johnson - he's the Thai-based businessman who gave Johnson’s office £1m – the biggest donation ever to an MP) funded Farage's trip that didn't, as far as I know, result in him seeing Trump or his ear.

I wonder just how much the people of Milwaukee were interested in Clacton? Almost £33,000 on a junket. It's a different world.

Notice Farage's convicted fraudster friend George Cottrell paid for his trip to Belgium in April:

What a disgrace Farage is. When he was an mep he rarely turned up. When is having enough money enough? He is a horrible man and the cause of so much unrest within the uk. As for GB News it isnt a legitimate news channel just a platform for the likes of Farage.
