Greed, greed, greed, try focusing on doing your main job first.

MPs second jobs do indeed add ‘richness’ only it to their personal wealth and lives.

Richness being the operative word...

No sense of irony. For most of us it’s the perception they are making themselves richer while making us poorer.

Bollocks.

Do it for minimum wage then.....if it is so enlightening

‘Richness’ seems an unfortunate choice of wording.

Typo there, should it not read 'richness of politicians life's.

Oh I bet it does, and lobbying for companies you work for makes you even richer on tax payers money

Try this argument out with your boss, anybody else.

Interesting choice of word...

Tories think they're above the law and fiddles are part of the job with sex on the side at the Westminster Club!

Yorkshire cricketers taking legal advice ahead of Azeem Rafiq's evidence to MPs about 'institutional racism'The former all-rounder will have the protection of parliamentary privilege when he addresses the DCMS select committee from 9.30am, meaning he is free to name names without worrying about legal reprisals. ❤ Well, that's lovely. Shame the same people wetting themselves over the alleged name calling of adults who could have physically reacted against such alleged insults at the time, do not and have not reacted to the ongoing assault of young girls in the same part of the country. If you can’t stand the heat in the kitchen then you shouldn’t be in it, are we to be charged for calling the French “Froggies” the Germans “Huns or Krauts”, or the Italians “Eyeties”, and Americans “Yanks”, where will this nonsense of appeasement end. I’m a BRIT and proud of it.
