Not much when you are suspended without pay for around 3 months (thanks to the recess, where 5 days + 1 months sitting = 3 months).

re MQ, they are in liquidation ... so unsure how much they paid / will pay on any royalties.

I think the members' interests aren't for 1 year, but cumulative to date.

Also, George's expenses from the same page for 05/06 was £107,030 -- which were a reduction from the 35.5% higher expenses in 04/05 (£145,072)

The standard MP wage is £60675. So that makes a total yearly income of around £250 000. I'm amazed he got £30-40 grand for Big Brother's Big Mouth, he was only on four 23 minute shows.
