Bumper income from MPs’ second jobs shows little has changed

Boris Johnson is among beneficiaries of failure to impose limits he proposed on money made from outside work

• MPs paid 10m for second jobs and freelance work over past year

Boris Johnson's government signalled that it wanted to bring in reasonable" restrictions on MPs taking on second jobs more than 18 months ago.

Fast-forward to the present day and the former prime minister has benefited significantly from his failure to impose limits on amounts made or hours worked.
