    Because the list only detailed “consultancy” work.

    Or, the list only compiled, as it says, for last year. Starmer stopped his “second job” in accordance with the Labour manifesto (banning second jobs) in 2019.

    To me, it’s not really about “second jobs”. There’s a difference between your second job being “legal work”/working as a barrister or something, or “consultant for big petroleum/energy/corporation”.

    I have a problem with that second job being essentially a bribe/direct connection to the prime minister. If you get paid by interest groups (banks, corporations etc pp), that’s an issue. Because obviously it’s an issue. Doesn’t matter what party you’re in.

    On the other hand, working as a lawyer for example, or doing other work for a neutral entity is fine. I would too, lets be realistic.
