ANDREW PIERCE: Any Tory MP who dared to have a second job has been snarled by Labour's attack dogs. Ex-Cabinet ministers are now being chastised for bagging plum TV presenting roles. Former Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries, as well as a Daily Mail columnist, has a show on Murdoch-owned TalkTV, while former Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg hosts his own show on GB News.
