David Miliband’s earnings from outside parliament this year now exceed £200,000. These earnings include: £25,000 for a lecture in Abu Dhabi; £42,600 for three lectures through the London Speaker Bureau and £10,000 for another organised by McKinsey; almost £24,000 for one week’s teaching at MIT plus the same again for his whole family’s flights and accommodation; £75,000 for 12-15 days work as a director of Sunderland FC. Nice work if you can get it. All on top of his MP’s salary, of course.

Perhaps he should go into property development instead?

And what does any of this matter?
Does this really go under ‘forward thinking for the democratic left’?
To JA: this information is reported as declared by David Miliband himself. Two aspects seem to me to be of interest – the extent of an MP’s outside earnings when they are already employed full-time, and the rate of pay. However, readers are left to draw their own conclusions.
Look forward to you listing all the other MPs’ outside earnings in due course then JL.
Wish I earned that for my lectures…………. many FE teachers in the north are about to have their wages slashed by £10,000 see here.
