True, but the latter made most of their millions from the private sector. Mr Kinnock left his job as an MP to jump on the EU gravy train (joining wife and son, as stated) and was soon owning million pound properties courtesy of the taxpayer.

He was even the subject of this article in Walesonline, the on-line presence of the left leaning Western Mail newspaper in 2009. Can’t really blame him though, he and his family only took advantage of the system, but it is difficult to see how all three ended up with top EU jobs without some behind the scenes influence.
To be fair Kinnock in private was a likeable man; as leader, he once spent an afternoon in our practice along with our then MP ‘Pink’ Paul Murphy, on a ‘fact finding’ exercise. He didn’t learn much from me. But he did strike us with his ability to listen, humour and sensible open discussion. Not like the pontificating windbag he came across as in public.
