That's called being British. Except for the first one, that's way too personal.

MPs should be barred from having second jobs. They should also be barred from investing in stocks and shares (other than generic ISA funds etc.). That would stop those wishing to exploit the system becoming an MP and encourage those that want to only be public servants. Does any party support this?

I've been saying for years, the reason why people like Farage, Johnson and Trump became so powerful is because they made "good TV" or were easy to write about. It's true that there is no bad publicity. It's why the western world is the way it is now, sacrificed for better ratings.

I'm in the UK and the very early report I read at the time (it was either the BBC or the Guardian I think) said that he'd been cut by glass but then it was never mentioned again.

My 11 year old son has recently diagnosed with autism and it has really helped him understand why he is the way he is. He has been excited to let everyone know. I can tell how much it means to him as he rarely speaks about himself to others.
