All these MPs seem to get consultancy jobs paying 50K a year for 4 hours a month. If they really need a 2nd job they could apply to their local supermarket to be a shelf-stacker, or a care assistant, like the rest of us have to.

Having said that I wouldn't object to them having a bigger salary as long as they were forbidden from filling their pockets elsewhere - being an MP should be a full-time job.
If they were that good at consultancy why waste hundreds of days a year in Parliament.
