www.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/may/08/tory-mp-philip-davies-takes-500-an-hour-job-at-slot-machine-companyTory MP Philip Davies has got a new £500-an-hour job as a consultant for a company in the Merkur group, which is behind slot machines in hundreds of high streets across the UK. Davies, who was recently knighted on the recommendation of Rishi Sunak, will provide “strategic advice” to Merkur Gaming, earning £1,000 a month for two hours of work in that period. Davies is well known for his links with the gambling and betting industries. As well as earning £50,000 in one year advising Entain, a sport betting and gambling company, he received up to £14,713.60 of hospitality from betting and horse-racing firms over two years, including days out at Ascot and cricket Test matches. He also has a £1,500-a-month job as a consultant on regulation and public policy for the National Pawnbroking Association. Plus over £70,000 a year as a presenter on GB News. www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/24153515.shipley-mp-philip-davies-earns-70k-gb-news-year/And: www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/mar/21/esther-mcvey-expenses-flat-philip-daviesEsther McVey claims expenses to rent a London flat while her husband lets out a nearby home a mile away. McVey is of course the wife of Davies and should retain her seat in Tatton. She's also a presenter on GB News, earning more than her husband. I remember her having at least 4 jobs after the electorate in Wirral West voted her out prior to securing the ultra safe seat of Tatton. McVey's official title is now 'Lady Davies' after Davies was knighted by Sunak for some obscure reason.

The putrid pong of political privilege.

Far too many with no moral compass and there snouts in the trough
