As LABOUR

MP david Lammy regularly points out, he represents one of the country’s poorest constituencies. ‘In Tottenham, thousands are out of work: too many children grow up in workless households and workless estates,’ he once wrote in the new european. At least Lammy’s doing oK. According to his entry in the Register of Members’ Interests, in the past six months he’s received £2,526 for an hour’s work from lawyers Watson Farley & Williams; £2,750 for an hour from investment house schroders; £3,036 from legal firm Berwin Leighton Paisner; £2,500 from Accenture for a onehour speaking engagement; £2,530 for speaking at the MMA annual conference; and £1,647 for speaking at nottingham Trent university. A tidy £15,000 — on top of his MP’s £76,000 salary.
