In a move to stave off Labour stealing the high ground of the reform of what politicians can/cannot do/earn outside parliament, Boris issued his own proposals minutes before Keir was about to unveil his yesterday.
So far so good.
However, Boris wants his proposals voted on today.
Again, so far so good.
BUT
1 The wording is woolly, especially when phrases such as "within reasonable limits" are used.
2 The time limit for reporting back (31 January) ensures that this will rumble on.
3 Many Tory MPs are wondering if they will be banned from having a secondary income.
It is just conceivable that Boris has outflanked himself.
