And so should resign immediately, and donate the money to a charity

As much as I loathe Cooper and hope that she is banished from politics, this is a rather specious fluff piece from Novara Media. The donations were fully declared, over a ten year period during which mostly she was out of office and wasn't even the health secretary.

So only £50k a year on average then? It does seem ludicrous how our political class always falls back on, "well, we declared the bribes!" as if that nullifies it.
