I'd like to know when he first got this job offer. We can then judge his comments at the time of announcing he wasn't going to stand of wanting to spend more time with the family as truly the case or the stated excuse for taking a career turn to suit his own needs and not that of the party.

I think only Greg himself can answer that, but having been an MP for 18 years, in which time his family has grown up, think his youngest was on about 18 months old when elected, plus the travel aspect every week, and lets not go down the road about these long holidays, that is a joke, most constituency MPs only take the usual holidays, then the rest of the time they work extremely hard in their constituencies. I would think that after 18 years most people would want a break from the political bubble that is Westminster, especially in the current climate |
