Backed Labour's proposed ban on MPs' second jobs
In 2014 Danczuk backed Labour leader Ed Miliband's call to impose a ban on MPs holding outside directorships and consultancies and a cap on outside earnings of around £10,000. [5]
Danczuk's backing came despite revelations that he earned almost £20,000 from the media and the publishers of his book about Cyril Smith between July and December 2014. [5]
Background
Before entering parliament Danczuk worked in a social research company based in Manchester that he co-founded in 1999 called Urban Visions Limited, and prior to this he worked as a researcher for The Big Issue in the North.
Danczuk also founded The Necessary Group, which is a campaign group of businessmen and politicians.
Education
He studied Economic Sociology and Politics as a mature student at Lancaster University [6]
