David Milliband lucrative jobs.

Its reported that David Milliband has taken a lucrative new job with a Pakistan-based city firm backed by a Swiss playboy that has pushed his earnings to over £500,000 since he quit as a minister, its said that he will earn £50,000 which is not expected to take up more than a couple of days a month of his time. His non-parliamentary earnings are paid into a company called The Office Of David Milliband Limited which is subject to corporatation tax of between 20% and 27.5% substantially less than the 50% rate for those earning £150,000+ using the company device would lower his tax bill by £127,000 Just like his mate Tony Blair who has paid just £315,000 in tax on his £12 million annual income. Before securing his new job Milliband has amassed £400,000 from speeches, lecture tours and consultancy work in the past 15 months. The jobs include more than £92,000 a year from a Californian "clean energy" firm Vantage Point, £75,000 as vice chairman of Premier League football club Sunderland and one off fees including £24,000 for a week teaching at a US university and lectures in the Middle East at £25,000 a time. This kind of thing now seems to be to prevalent amongst ministers and MP's of all parties. This on top of his £65,000 salary as an MP. Perhaps its about time that people who want to stand as members of parliament give up any other jobs no matter what and concentrate on working for their constituents and the country, (they are always complaining that they are overworked) not using their positions so that they can line their own pockets. They are either on lecture tours writing for the media or appearing on game shows. These people try to make policies and say how people should pay their fair share of income tax whilst making bloody sure that they pay the minimum by setting up companies and off shore accounts that they are trying to make illegal. Is it any wonder that the average man in the street is now  loosing all confidence in these people, they lost respect for them many years ago. These people are now trying to become celebrities rather than do what they were elected to do.
