MP- 45

Job hunting firm recommends new jobs for ex-MPs

After a General Election night of tension that resulted in a hung parliament, politicians from all parties have woken up today out of a job. Following one of the most intriguing election nights for decades, leading jobhunting firm MyWorkSearch has created a list of recommendations for high profile MPs including Labour heavyweights Charles Clarke and Jacqui Smith as they begin their hunt for work.

Experts at the firm entered the profiles of the some of the country’s leading politicians using its personalised assessment test tool and came out with a string of startling suggestions for politicians to try now that they are no longer Members of Parliament.

The database found that original ‘Blair Babe’ Jacqui Smith, who lost her Redditch seat, would make an ideal Ann Summers party organiser due to her unique knowledge of education, detention and a husband who enjoys adult films. Ousted former Home Secretary Charles Clarke, famous for his unique ears and off-key remarks, would make a fine Piano tuner.

The jobs portal also found that Esther Rantzen, who failed to win more than 5% of the vote in Luton South would be a perfect school cook, having a history in youth issues and famously devouring creepy crawlies during her stint on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

Lembit Opik, who lost his Montgomeryshire seat by just 1,000 votes, has been advised to try his hand at erotic fiction writing whilst BNP leader Nick Griffin, who is used to being abused in public, would make a perfect traffic warden should he not be elected to parliament.

The full list of recommendations is as follows:
