Agreed. I would have thought being a member of parliament to be a full time job. By attempting to do two jobs is Mr. Jones not in danger of neglecting or not devoting enough time and effort to either one or both positions?
It would appear our honourable member is becoming sensitive. He has replied to one of the comments in the Telegraph objecting to the names he has been called. Is this the same Mr.Jones who once referred to local conservatives as a 'shower of shi**' on this very site?
