    I mean it’s fine if they need the money. Don’t want only rich people being MPs.

    Her statement is so tone deaf though. MPs are well paid and get pretty reasonable “loss of office” payments for their transition out if they contest and lose a election.

    As if the couple of hundred tory MPs (most of whom are well off anyway) are anywhere near to the top of the victim list!
