Being elected as an MP is a privilege and must never be treated as anything less than a full-time job. Yet, dozens of Tory, Labour Party and Lib Dem MPs seem to be more interested in raking


in cash through second jobs, and dark money donations, than standing up for their constituents. It’s disgraceful that senior members of the Tory party are raking in millions, while seeking


to deny fair pay for working people suffering from thirteen years of Tory cuts, Brexit, and the Westminster-made cost of living crisis. TWO FORMER PRIME MINISTERS HAVE RAKED IN £3.6 MILLION


SINCE THE LAST GENERAL ELECTION Since leaving office, Boris Johnson has made over £1 million making just 4 speeches in the United States, India, and Portugal. On days when parliament was


sitting, he was busy lining his pockets on the far side of the planet. Theresa May has declared almost £2.8 million worth of donations, secondary earnings, and other benefits – more than any


of her colleagues. > 🍾 Two former Tory Prime Minister’s have raked in £3.6m. >  > 🪧 At the same time the Tories want to ban the right to strike for > fair pay. >  > 💷

12, 2023 The egregious examples of Tory and Labour Party MPs earning millions in outside earnings from second jobs and receiving millions in murky donations from non-transparent and


questionable sources, showed the Westminster system is broken and corrupt.
