They have to be working in their offices, attending Select and Bill Committees, speaking in either the House or Westminster Hall, catching up on the 100 plus items of correspondence they receive each day etc etc - at the same time as dealing with constituency casework. This, last Anonymous, is the life of an MP. Like to try it?<br />No doubt you, like 99.9% of people in this country think that bieng an MP is wearing a posh suit, drinking champagne all day and sitting on the green benches at noon on Wednesdays for PMQs.<br />Oh, and it is also attending lots of events in the constituency not to mention party meetings and events.<br /><br />Not so cushdy now is it?<br />Oh - and being monstered in the press Diary columns just for existing - or when a pissed off party member has phoned in with a piece of untrue gossip etc etc etc.Lagnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932765464128103640.post-67874530570563253612009-11-02T00:47:10.920+01:002009-11-02T00:47:10.920+01:00I must live in a different world.

People do this every day to commute to London from everywhere in the country.Many have never known any other working pattern.<br />As for life as an MP - I don't think I have ever met one, living in London or not - who has not gone to bed after midnight and set off for the office at 6.30am. That's what MPs do and what they are like. Actually, 6.30 is a bit late - many arrived at their offices at that time and could be seen having a cuppa with the police officers in the Lords' canteen.<br /><br />Martin has clearly found the whole experience just too taxing. A good job that he is retiring and can then spend time legitimately with a 9 pm Horlicks and Olay night cream. Because he's worth it.McDowellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932765464128103640.post-87121764432902344342009-10-29T14:11:42.163+01:002009-10-29T14:11:42.163+01:00If he had been a Minister what would he have been ...If he had been a Minister what would he have been one for? Just like what has he been an MP for? What did he want to do with it? As far as I can see it was all about Martin being a Minister or,if he couldn't then an MP. All about the greater glory of Martin John Salter rather than for anything he might do with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
