What do people think about preventing MPs from moonlighting?
Good idea? Bad idea? Issues that may come up?

It just seems odd to me you can take your £80k salary being a representative of your constituents and also work as a private investment firm and this isn't seen as a conflict of interest.

It could have just been Jezza paying some Lithuanian lad to hack it after the tories redacted everything in the FOI version.

This time is:
16% > 12% > ??

Wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma


Skimming through the NI docs that Corbs just released;

- Of course Brexit will create customs barriers. It can't not do that. The EU will rightly insist in territorial integrity, so your choices are either NI stays in a de-facto customs union with the Republic (creating the Irish Sea border), or it comes out with Britane (creating the land border and smashing the GFI)
- And borders means customs, and customs (probably) means tariffs, all of which is going to impact local businesses in Scotland and Wales (because they're near partners and also the entry ports for goods)
- Boris keeps saying he will get a one year trade deal with the EU. This is some of the most powerful nonsense. It can't happen UNLESS you do a customs and regulatory union. That's the only way ever. Any other serious trade deal with the EU will take 5-10 years realistically.
- So, bereft of a quick deal with the EU, Boris will need to show SOME advantage while NI implodes and poor areas become even more so. Enter the US.
- The UK has absolutely nothing, zero, to offer to the US and no strategic industry advantage. The only realistic one you have is the London City, but that's already completely coupled with Wall Street and has been from its inception.
- The real stuff the US will absolutely demand will be healthcare and agri. And there's no way on earth a Boris gov't will be capable of resisting it (assuming they want to).

tbf, as you'd expect from the Channel 4 News bit in the corner, they're the ones going in on this, because they're the only news channel with a shred of integrity (some of it lacking after recent reporting mind you)
