    I'm pleased as he must have been struggling on his current wages as a full time MP and part time consultant on £650,000 pa for 4 days a month.. London is such an expensive place to be.
    And as the Standard's owner says it's reassuring to have an editor who's London through and through. (Even though he has a Cheshire constituency.)

    It really is a farce when an MP has all these jobs - really shows how some of them take the piss. What is the point of George Osbourne?

    How does this clueless c**t manage to get all these high paid jobs when he couldn't even find his own arse with both hands?

    I thought I'd take a screenshot rather than post it, just to see how long it took unprompted.

    The Standard's been used as a tool to grease up to the rich and powerful for years - it's only logical to cut out the middleman and give the job directly to the rich and powerful.

    it sums up all that is wrong with our society

    if hes a paid MP then that should be it ..end of /no blurred lines/jobs on the side/backhanders/expenses etc

    makes a mockery of our system and proper democracy

    its absolutely stinks just another trougher who has obviously gone into politics to broaden his "profile"

    He is probably genuinely more qualified than Osborn is to edit The Standard.

    this is before he had his 'Ceasar' haircut and his funny diet.

    He looks like a zombie, his drugs (prescription or otherwise) must have just kicked in and he's trying to get his brain in order to deal with it.
