On Friday, the Courant ran my letter confirming that if elected, I will be a full-time MP, ie, no 'fat cat' directorships or private legal clients for me. That has to be right: over 60,000 people live in the Hexham constituency, and if taking care of their interests is not a full-time job, the MP is not doing his job properly. I don't know whether the Tory and Lib Dem candidates have come off the fence on this issue. If not, they need to - voters have the right to know.
The letter can be found at: http://hexham-courant.co.uk/opinion/letters/commitment_1_621863?referrerPath=opinion/letters
