If they have done wrong, they must be punished. Boris Johnson said so very clearly this evening.

The problem with the current dialogue being pushed is that no-one apart from Owen Paterson has been found to have done anything wrong.

As to whether the rules should be changed, I guess this depends on the will of parliamentarians to change the arrangements.

You need to grab a coffee with Seph at Waitrose and he'll get you up to speed.
If they put forward a proposal to ban second jobs, they would get more respect from the public that they actually tried to change it instead of simply whingeing about the practice to score political points.
