Gulli you are so out of touch with reality. The average MP salary is about £87K. Most of the senior leaders of my company earn that and way more, as does undoubtedly most senior management in any company. Not just capitalist companies either - the NHS, Councils, Charities all have staff on way over that.
You use this argument as if they are the super rich.
As an aside moaning about the £20 scrapping of the UC uplift makes my blood boil. It was given willingly to tide over during a difficult time. It was never a permanent thing. Now it's being withdrawn (as let's face it working life is well on way to normality) the left want to scream it's a cut. Typical of the benefit dependent, give an inch and they take a mile.

Ministers earning from a second job has nothing to do with UC or pensions. The later have to be paid for by the tax payers the former by the companies that employ them (and which no doubt have some tax paid on the earnings).
Having said that though I dont like the second job thing for MP's which is why I am of the opinion the HoC should be halved in numbers and the MP's salaries doubled, with limited expenses. I would also advocate a maximum of 15 years service every 30.
