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

Not a full time job but some may need to keep up skills.

I’d be interested in others views.

Personally, I think being an MP is already more than a full time job, they should attending parliament as often as possible, holding surgeries in their constituencies, dealing with any issues in their area and representing always the people who elected them.

They are public servants!

They are paid a reasonable basic salary and very healthy expenses as well as subsidised meals and alcohol in the HoC.

What are others thoughts?
