"We're in danger of making politics something only hedge fund donors, young spin doctors and failed trade unionists can afford to do."
I thought that was already the case!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.George Freeman is my MP and is a very hard working one at that. He regularly gives updates via his website and facebook, and frequently holds surgeries in our local towns and drop ins at supermarkets etc. He is approachable and has responded to any requests for information and has taken up many cases for his constituents. All this even though he was a Minister and he frequently attended the HOC. I will certainly be voting for him and I am sure many of our local constituents will be. I was a count clerk at the last few elections and seeing the pile of votes for him going up and up was heartwarming.
His net salary is approx £6k a month, so £4k after his mortgage.
In addition, as Naomi has pointed out, on top of this he'll have council tax, utilities, insurance etc...
As somebody has previously said, we do not know his personal financial position, such as any payments he may be having to make to his ex-wife - for all we know he's paying her mortgage as well.
So his net income after everything is paid for could be low.
Strange that Jackson-Reacher doesn't know the difference between gross and net - I would have thought that is an easy concept to grasp.
