"Boris Johnson missed 187 commons votes while he was in the US making £4m giving speeches. Nadine Dorries hasn't been in the commons for over a year. In what other job is this acceptable?" Marina Purkiss comments on second jobs for MPs.

For any foodies out there

@spicymutant @MarinaPurkiss @MarinaPurkiss saying it like it is. Her viewpoints, along with the likes of @carolvorders and @supertanskiii, stand head and shoulders above so many others. Seems like it's them that've got the 'balls', eh?

@MarinaPurkiss Umm, wait until you hear about Stormont in Northern Ireland.... The DUP has refused to go into government buildings for 18 months (except to sign the register to ensure they get paid), hence denying everybody in NI governance.

@poggiolino @MarinaPurkiss And to think Mogg was leaving post it notes on civil servants’ desks asking where they were?

@janetsch0 @MarinaPurkiss I disagree with Marina on this. I would put a blanket ban on second jobs for MP's. I'd increase their wages to 100 grand a year and I'd reduce the amount of expenses they are allowed to claim. Sadly too many MP's see the position as a way of harvesting money for themselves.

@MarinaPurkiss I think allowing MPs to have any second jobs is an invitation to corruption. Anyway, how do they have time if they’re doing their first job properly?

@MarinaPurkiss Marina, Marina, Marina... time and again you sock it to the establishment by asking difficult questions of them and they don't like it!

@MarinaPurkiss Spot on Marina! It’s called taking the piss at the tax payer’s expense!

@MarinaPurkiss Fraudulent scrounging from the public purse, and yet they have the gall to call others lazy. #lazytories

@MarinaPurkiss Indeed. Theft wrapped up in cotton wool
