Millionaire Tory MP gives the most pathetic excuse for failing to declare £400,000 in extra earnings
‘The highest-paid Tory MP has apologised after ‘forgetting’ to declare £400,000 of extra income on time – despite remembering to claim a 49p bottle of milk on expenses.
Millionaire Conservative MP Geoffrey Cox works part-time as a barrister to top up his £74,000 MP salary.
He clocked 500 hours between January and August in 2015, but failed to declare the extra work – because he’d forgot to hire an office clerk to do it for him.
The backbencher, who claimed for a 49p bottle of milk and £2 worth of tea bags, had no problem remembering his expenses, however.’
