For once Red Ed has done something I entirely agree with - he has advised that in the future, all Labour MP's will be banned from taking directorships and consultancies for pay.
Mr Cameron thinks that outside interests add to an MP's experience in terms of doing his job as an MP.
I'm with Mr Milliband on this - I want my MP to be gaining experience as an MP ... by being an MP - that's what I voted for him to do!

// I can't get my head around an MP claiming to be self employed? Do they send an invoice for the £80,000+ they pick up from the tax payer? It sounds like nonsense to me or it could be just another scam. //

As an ex-government minister, hew should be ashamed of himself.
The problem is, when he blithely says he doesn't 'earn a salary' - he really believes it to be true, and thinks he has to go scratting around to ear a crust.
Based on what he has said about taking walks and reading all day, I would be inclined to agree - he indeed does not EARN his salary, but he is still paid it.
Shame on him!

What I find so disappointing in this affair, is how easily some MP's greed seems to get the better of their common sense. This isn't the first sting operation that the Media have pulled, and it certainly won't be the last.
You would have thought that as soon as the disguised reporters asked " what is your daily rate", they would have smelled a rat with immediate effect, and started running in the other direction !
These two chaps aren't just some newbie, nobody MPs...they are both high profile former Ministers.... What wassocks !

The interesting attitude from Rifkind's suporters is outrage that he has been 'stung' - not that the sting can only work if he is unethical enough to hang himself on tape and film.
Ethical MP's don't get stung!
On Newsnight, the former Chair of the security committee that Rifkind now runs was polite enough to suggest that Rifkind must be a faster reader than he is! Kim Howells said that it was a full-time job reading the vast amount of complex info he had to ingest as Chair, and it has to be done in their offices, for security reasons.
So Rifkind is supposed to be doing that, AND being a constituency MP, and he still has time to snout around for dodgy outside work?
The man is a disgrace, he should be deselected before he has chance to retire.
