Two years ago, we published a deep dive into MP’s additional income. Second jobs are now in the spotlight, and #TorySleaze is trending, so we’ve re-run our code to see much MPs in the current Parliament have earned. This chart summarises, with Conservatives highlighted blue…. … demonstrating that this is principally a Conservative scandal. Also note that second jobs – the focus of media attention - are not the only source of additional income. Other one-off opportunities, such as giving speeches and writing articles, can be lucrative too.

A-level results were published on Thursday. Independent schools saw a 4.7% increase in A* and A grades. State schools saw only a 2% increase. That seems unfair. And we think it could be partly driven by the “prior attainment” adjustments made in the government’s algorithm. Many have attributed Independent schools’ improved performance to the fact their class sizes were more often too small for teachers' grades to be standardised. And teachers’ grades were, on average, more generous than standardised grades.

Hey. We’re new to Twitter. To open our account, we’ve analysed what MPs earned - in addition to their salaries - in the last Parliament. MPs declare such earnings, but in a super unstructured way. So, we’ve written some code to create a neat dataset of all their declarations. Since the last #GeneralElection, MPs have earned £8.4 million in addition to their parliamentary salary (an average of £12,900 per MP).
