They Just Can't Help It Can They.

Geoffrey Cox ..TORY mp has been missing parliamentary votes and sitting days while he works at his lucrative "second job" as a lawer in Mauritius.The former attorney general who so far has declared £500,000 in pay from this second job this year also missed two Parliamentary votes on the winter fuel allowance.

[Old_Geezer]

Did he agree to pair off with a Labour party MP to miss the votes ?

[davebro3]

I'm sure his missing those votes made a huge difference🙄

Sounds about right for a money grabbing tory, ie, I'm alright jack.

[Deskdiary]

Has he taken tens of thousands of pounds worth of freebies like Starmer has?

[gulliver1]

10.13 Naomi. But were they out of the Country earning thousands of pounds at their second jobs.????

[naomi24]

Well, gulliver, he was out of the country for three days but I've no idea where the Labour lot were.  Do You?

[gulliver1]

Nicebloke @ 10.15 Agree with you. The Tories can't resist a  finger in the tax payers till ..can they . Hope you enjoyed your fishing trip lol.

[naomi24]

Naomi 10.28 Probably gone fishing with Mr nicebloke...lol🤣

//The Tories can't resist a  finger in the tax payers till//

Make up your mind, gulliver,  You said he was working.

[gulliver1]

Naomi 10.41 Take a step back for a moment and think about it.If Cox is working and getting paid for his second job in Mauritius . Then he ain't at his main job as an MP in the UK is he? .  That's the job he is getting payed for by the British tax payer .So therefore he is milking the tax payer.  Get it.

[naomi24]

Don't upset yourself, gulliver.  I expect the tax paid on second jobs fills the gap.

[newmodarmy]

Yet his constituents must think he does a good job overall for them as he gets their votes.

I remember David Lammy getting paid for his job at LBC..  did you post then?

[gulliver1]

Naomi Why should Cox .Who has already earned £6 million  over the past few years from second job earnings even get paid by the taxpayer when he ain't working for them ? And why does he accept it ? Is it because he is a greedy Tory MP and he just can't help it .

[davebro3]

gully - how many hours a day do you trawl the internet looking for stuff to bash the tories with? Don't you think there are better things to do? 🤣

[naomi24]

Gulliver, it would make more sense for you to ask where the 52 Labour MPs were when they were being paid by the tax payer for being absent.  

[Deskdiary]

I'd far more trust Cox who earns an honest living outside of his job as an MP, than a PM who accepts tens of thousands in freebies, is a hypocrite and is a liar.
