Yes - giving legal advice against the British government whilst serving as an MP is treason in my book.

IDS chairing a committee that makes decisions that impact an organisation he works for is corruption.

Funny how many jobs in the real world for far less money than MPs' salaries are exclusive contracts so you can't work for anyone else. Yet for those who govern us, such rules don't apply.
