What the petition asks
A week after it was announced that Tatton MP George Osborne was taking a £650k pro rata role advising a finance firm he was appointed editor of the Evening Standard, but insists on keeping his MPs salary. We call on him to resign and the government to ban second jobbing and make our MPs full time.
