Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and shadow Chancellor John McDonnell have published their tax returns for the third consecutive year today.

They showed Corbyn earned £136,762 from MP’s pay, his salary as leader of the opposition and pension, while McDonnell made £87,353 from MP’s pay and pension.

Predictably, that prompted charges of hypocrisy from some right-wingers who seem to believe lefties should get less than the Tories for the same job:

Labour's socialist leader Jeremy Corbyn raked in £140K last year and gave £890 in charitable gift aid donations https://t.co/wRdDnc3bp3 — Daily Mail U.K. (@DailyMailUK) February 2, 2018

But the amount earned by the leaders of the opposition pale into insignificance when compared to the sums raked in by top Tories from their side jobs alone.

The register of MPs’ interests shows:

Perhaps it’s best if the Tories don’t pick a fight over this one.

We wonder what we’d find if they followed Labour’s example and published their tax returns?
