Recently Danczuk's loyalty to Labour came under fire, when he visited a pub with Nigel Farage. In response to this news, Danczuk said he was “solidly Labour” and was definitely not about to join Farage’s party. [2]
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. [3]
