Labour leads the charge to kick out two-job MPs

ED MILIBAND banned his MPs yesterday from taking second jobs and Labour will lead the charge today to wipe part-time positions out of Parliament.

Today’s opposition day debate comes after Tory MP Malcolm Rifkind announced yesterday he will stand down from Parliament after being caught offering his services in an undercover sting.

Mr Rifkind, who complained his £67,000 MPs salary was not enough to survive on, had planned to stand in his Kensington and Chelsea again in May.
