To be fair, one spends £4bn of public money a year and has a powerful and unique influence over the national conversation and the other is Nadine Dorries.

MPs constituency offices have frequently been staffed by spouses and children, much as is the case for many people in self employment. The work is particularly suited to people who already have a good relationship with the MP.
