MPs’ extra jobs: Tory backbench chairman Sir Graham Brady interviews for SIXTH job
The latest Led By Donkeys video clip on MPs taking extra jobs is now available – and focuses on Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the Tories’ backbench 1922 committee.
He’s a highly important Parliamentary figure being the MP who takes ‘no confidence’ votes in Tory Party leaders and announces the result in the leadership elections that may follow.
He also has four other jobs already. How much opportunity does that provide for commercial concerns to influence him, and for him to influence Parliament in turn?
Here, he participates in a job interview for the fake South Korean firm set up by the campaigning group:
He never mentioned his obligations to his constituents.
It is possible that this is because – as he stated to Led By Donkeys when the group contacted him – he is planning to quit Parliament at the next election, and he took part in the interview because he is looking for new opportunities beyond his life as an MP.
Looking at what he said in the interview, do you think that’s true?
