According to the Guardian, MPs have been paid £10m from second jobs over the past year despite promises of a crackdown. The paper says the figure has been driven up largely by Conservative MPs – particularly Boris Johnson who has made £4.8m, accounting for more than half the total. The Guardian says the rise in incomes over the past year appears to be driven by a small group of Tory MPs taking on lucrative consultancy jobs, and well-paid media gigs for the right-wing GB News Channel, as well as Rupert Murdoch’s Talk TV.
