For many years I have been both bemused at the stories of how over worked our MP's are, combined with being appalled at the rows of empty seats in the House of Commons.
Every year, just after they give themselves their own massive pay hikes, we constantly hear what terrific value for money they give us, and how we pay them a fraction of their real worth.
Today we heard that our ex-chancellor George Osbourne has now been appointed to his 4th concurrent job!
There must be some really content constituents in Tatton (Osbourne's parliamentary seat) who want for nothing, if Osbourne can now find the time to be the full time editor of the London Evening Standard, as well as; A senior advisor for Blackrock Investment Institute, and a speaker at invitational engagements.
Don't get me wrong some MP's are decent honourable people, but after the expenses scandal, greed is back on the agenda again.
Osbourne should do the decent thing and resign, before the boundaries commission decide he will lose his seat anyway, at least his constituents would get proper full time representation.
