Labour's 2019 manifesto committed to stopping MPs having second paid jobs.
What was the name of that guy who was derided by the media and sabotaged by some in his own party and keeps being proved right?
Jacob Rees-Mogg’s Company Accounts show c£103M profit over last 5 years, but paid ZERO UK corporation tax as ultimate ownership in Cayman Islands.
