The part time Dewsbury MP who gets paid £66,000 a year!

The part time MP who gets paid £66,000 a year to represent the people of the Dewsbury constituency spoke in a staggering 5 debates in Parliament last year, that works out at £13,200 per debate. Clearly this is a bargain, and I am sure that his hard working constituents don't begrudge him this money from their taxes.
The good news of course is that being a part time MP means he has time on his hands to continue working as a barrister so that he can supplement this meagre income by earning more than £70,000 a year in the legal profession.
The people of Dewsbury deserve to be served by a full time MP, who will work hard all day every day for the residents of the constituency, and not spend their time charging £200 an hour to appear in court or giving legal advice to corporate company's.
Earnings? You can see the evidence here!
