What about Mr "Millionaire" Blair ..... In September 2012, Blair negotiated a new advisory contract with Kazakhstan that will increase his total fee for working with the regime to £16m.

It ain't corrupt, but it sure is greedy .....

Oh we could get into some silly arms selling, despot shmoozing, media controlling, tax avoiding debate here.. but it's a lovely day

His constituents should be calling for him to step down, we are so apathetic in this country. I read recently MPs were planning on giving themselves a 16% pay rise, if that goes through I suppose we will just sit back and accept our pay/benefit freeze/cuts and let them have their cake, after all they are worth it.

Totally cherie, and when there is an outcry the right wing media, decry the protesters as 'welfare dependent wasters' ' hysterical bleeding heart lefties' or some such derogatory comment.
There could be thousands of peaceful protesters and one incident of violence or vandalism and that is all the media will focus on for days..... It's so predictable.
There is no way that in the current state of the economy this 16% rise can be justified?.... But my guess is they will find a way.

I can't add to the posts here, as you have all said what needed to be said so well. But why can't he step down until the next election? Is there some reason he can't?

Greed,he states he has resigned from the Conservative to spare them embarrassment.
As long as he now stays in Parliament it is naturally going to cause them problems so since he has quit the Conservative party,I think he should go now and not be able to stay as an MP until the next election.

Once an MP alters their status in the house like this then a by election should be the norm and the MP gone,he can stand as an Independent if he wishes.

Something should have been done to stop this long ago of MPs saying ''I am changing what I am at present but staying as an MP''.
Like what I read about in the 80s when Labour MPs suddenly decided to be SDP MPs, they should all have had to fight by elections right off then too and so in my opinion should this guy.
