Sir Malcolm Rifkind ""£60,000 sounds a lot of money to anyone earning less, but the reality is that anyone from a professional or business background earns considerably more. I want to have the standard of living my professional background would normally entitle me to have."

He also commented that banning M.Ps from having second jobs would exclude "very large numbers of very able people". "You could not, and their families would not allow them, to accept such a substantial reduction in their standard of living."

This only confirms to me that a lot of our elected representatives do not share Planet Earth with the rest of us. The fact that many thousands of people struggle to get the minimum wage for more arduous jobs than being an M.P. seems to pass them by. How many ordinary working people get subsidised restaurants and bars provided by their employer I wonder? Not to mention all their other perks.

As for Jack Straw - £5000 - £8000 a day? Have they no shame?
