Pure Tory Greed.

[gulliver1]

Tory Mps.. Matt Hancock..Kwasi Kwarteng..Gavin Williamson..
Stephen Hammond..Graham Brady..Were all approached By a fake overseas Company calling themselves PA News Agency, who were looking UK Mp advisers .In this sting operation Hancock and Kwarteng said their daily rate for consultancy would be £10,000 per day.Brady asked for only £6,000 per day. 16 MPs were approached by the fake Co, and this famous five progressed to an online interview..... "Led by Donkeys"

.....glass houses!

[Old_Geezer]

Unsure what point is being made. That a fake company can't afford the going market rate ? Or that one can trust someone who is not who they say claim to be ?

[gulliver1]

10.37 ,,Yes they should be locked up in one .

//Unsure what point is being made. //

Nor me, OG.

[perseverer]

Given the recent performance of some of these, what did they think they were going to be consulted on? How to mess up in your job?

[gulliver1]

It's called "Lobbying" Naomi
....Mps call it work.
David Cameron made £7 million from it .

[rowanwitch]

Even If it were real and they declared it would it be wrong doing?

[douglas9401]

Maybe the point is that these politicians have a VERY inflated idea of their worth.

Of course if they were being recruited because of their 'influence' then that's another matter.

[Peter Pedant]

Tories are gullible and greedy ( is the point)
Need I point out the obvious - obviously I do

Prince Eddie ( and The Ferge) ruined their independence over this.

if it is too good to be true: it probably is. The Randy One ( (andrew that is!) shouldda learnt that as well

[Peter Pedant]

hi dougie
the bleedin' obvious ( thx to TTT!) well put

[Peter Pedant]

obit in the times where the FO mandarin had to arrange (!) the foundations of a lecture ( paid) by ex PM Margt Thatcher in the US

Huge fee ( around 1990) - mormon uni and no booze, so the supply of Denis' "snooteroonies" became - - - acute

"Were all approached By a fake overseas Company calling themselves PA News Agency"

Not Chinese agents were they?

[jno]

it just lets you know what MPs think they are worth, and how the poor dears aren't earning enough.

Imagine what the going rate for a competent one would be.

[Peter Pedant]

well we know jno if they are voted out of the commons,
they find it er difficult to find other employment

ed balls when he was voted out, was asked on the hustings what he gonna do
and answered
Quite honestly - - I have no idea

[Peter Pedant]
