Snouts in the trough latest...

'But analysis by the Observer has found that 34 members of that group, the vast majority of whom are current or former ministers, listed a net total of over £2.5m of expected annual income in the register of MPs interests.

One transparency campaigner said the findings suggested departing Tory MPs were “taking their eyes off the day job” and trying to “cash in on their political connections to secure lucrative jobs”.

 

While some of the jobs were for smaller sums, 11 MPs listed roles worth over £100,000 a year. At the top of the list was former justice secretary Brandon Lewis, who has taken on five new part-time roles worth £410,000 a year alongside his commitments as an MP.

 

The most lucrative were for LetterOne Holdings, an “international investment business”, and FM Conway, an infrastructure and road-building company that frequently works for local and national government.

 

Former chancellors of the exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng and Sajid Javid registered work worth £98,600 and £321,000 a year respectively, including, in Javid’s case, a £300,000-a-year part-time advisory role to Jersey-based investment firm Centricus Partners.

 

In January, former deputy prime minister Dominic Raab registered a £118,000-a-year role working for private equity firm Appian Capital, for which he needed to work for roughly a week of every month.

Some 26 of the departing MPs have also taken all-expenses-paid trips to the likes of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, usually paid for by lobbyists or the governments of foreign states.

 

Independent Beckenham MP Bob Stewart, who surrendered the Tory whip late last year before he successfully appealed against his conviction for a racially aggravated public order offence, registered eight foreign trips worth nearly £20,000.

 

Meanwhile, backbencher Lisa Cameron, who defected to the Conservatives from the SNP last year but is not to set to contest her seat in the next general election, registered six visits outside the UK, including one paid for by the government of Thailand and one by the government of Qatar.

 

Former business secretary and Cop26 president Alok Sharma listed some 11 subsidised trips worth over £95,000. That was alongside over £330,000-a-year’s worth of outside work. Sharma said: “Much of my travel outside the UK is related to voluntary and unpaid work I undertake to advance climate action. This includes travel to support greater ambition through the Cop process, including visits to the UAE which hosted Cop28 last year.”'

They were a bit quiet in 2015/16. Probably keeping themselves a bit clean before the election.

I still think his explanation was brilliant "I paid off some rent boy drug dealers because I was sick all over their gaff, but the locals said I didn't have to pay it back"

 

Thats some cojones right there.

 

As the rent boy might have said.

 

 

[Section_31]

This is how Tory governments always end. Remember "I had a moment of madness on Clapham Common!" and David Mellor running around naked from the waste down with his chelsea shirt on, and Major walloping Curry, shudder.

What a load of bollocks.

The double standards are sickening.

 

[Section_31]

Menzies said: “Due to the pressures on myself and my elderly mother, I have decided to resign from the Conservative party.

 

 

[Anubis]

The whips threatened his mother? No, Mark, the pressure on your elderly mother comes from you being a cocaine sniffing twat bringing shame on the family.

[Section_31]

Mrs Menzies, upon arrival at headquarters a rodent had to be removed from your son's rectum.

 

Yes, and? 

[Anubis]

They always have names like Camilla and Isabel.
