Tall and tight MP Daniel Kawczynski is advertising for an unpaid intern on Westminster’s noticeboard W4MP:

“Following the success of his first book, ‘Seeking Gaddafi’, Daniel Kawczynski the Member of Parliament for Shrewsbury & Atcham, is writing his next book on another leading Arab country. He is looking for a person to help him research and write this book.”
