The average full-time worker in the constituency of Torridge and West Devon earns between £521 and £530 a week– the equivalent of up to £27,560 a year. For the local MP, Geoffrey Cox, who has represented the area since 2005, that is pocket change.
Guardian analysis of the MP’s register of interests found the former attorney general has earned nearly £6m from his work as a barrister outside parliament since becoming a Conservative MP.
