Which MPs have second jobs... includes Grayling and ports!

Which MPs have second jobs and how much do they earn?https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/explainers-59206904There is a listing of MPs declared second jobs and how much they earn.  I am surprised to see:- Former transport and justice secretary Chris Grayling (Conservative) earns £100,000 to advise Hutchison Ports

Grayling may be failing but he has useful contacts - assuming he remembers their names ...

Beggars belief that anyone would hire Failing Grayling, let alone pay him £100,000 a year.

Sorry forgot to add:"A Labour councillor for Bedford ward, Fleur Anderson, resigned in April 2021 having been elected as MP for Putney in the 2019 general election"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Wandsworth_London_Borough_Council_election

The list is just ones that are consultants.Some like Rees-Mogg are directors others doctors such as Rosena Allin-Khan.

If the second jobs were to "help the people" or more altruistic I wouldn't have a problem with it but most aren't.

This listing is surprising, though.  All bar one (LibDem Leader) are all conservative MPs.  While I agree that many of the latter are real rotters, particularly of late, but no other MPs have second jobs?
