Millionaire Maguire in Glass House Shocker
Guido has just got off the phone with our Kev after reading his column inPublic Affairs News about hacks failing to declare other work in the register of journalists’ interests. The Parliamentary Standards Commissioner recently ruled Martin Bright, Melissa Kite, Andrew Neil and Fraser Nelson should have declared their outside interests while in possession of Lobby passes. Maguire was quick to have a go at them in his column, and Guido thought he better check Kev’s own glass house was in order.
Despite being the Daily Mirror’s political editor Magure isn’t afraid to take the Murdoch shilling – appearing on Sky News almost every day and regularly reviewing the papers at £150 a pop with a limo back to his Richmond mansion thrown in. These have all been properly noted, but before he went on the attack you would have thought he would have registered his very obvious outside interest – his column in Public Affairs News that he admitted, with a raucous cackle, having had for two years.
In true Labour style Kev says he is going to report himself after being caught out. He better be quick to beat Guido’s complaint faxed over…
