Behave, jfman, for goodness sake. I have engaged with the debate, but that doesn’t mean that I have to give succour to the left wing point of view being expressed on this forum.

You pay attention to your own credibility (you need to) and let me worry about mine.

I'm afraid wishing these case studies of corruption away won't do it for the electorate and a lot of the press. Something needs to change and Johnson needs to swiftly make sure it's the legislation and not the occupier of No. 10 that changes.
If Labour felt that strongly about second jobs, that is exactly what they would do, if nothing else, to embarrass the government. They won’t do it, of course, because second jobs are also performed by their own MPs.

I cannot see people agonising about this is three months’ time, let alone three years.
