That one's quite interesting.

He was a practicing QC, appointed on merit, before being elected. Served as Attorney General but lost the job post 2019. Too independent in giving advice? Replaced by Suella Braverman who has none of his legal clout and got her QC by the politicians route.

Practicing law, like medicine, doesn't have the smell or risk of corruption that was the downfall of Owen Paterson. Cox's earnings at the Bar have been in the spotlight before and he resigned from the Committee on Standards and the Committee on Privileges after a previous half million or so was disclosed c2016. Latterly he was acting for the British Virgin Islands on 'Tax Haven' issues. There are good reasons to be wary of condemning Barristers because their clients have a bad smell.

I guess the £900k in play now and the previous half million were gross fees; a lot less after Chambers expenses etc are deducted. Would be interesting to know how long it took to earn that dosh and how the interests of his constituents were secured if he was away for ages.

Generally, I think it's between him, the constituency party and his electorate. He won the seat from the LDs and would be vulnerable to their potential rise from the ashes.

OTOH IDS, who seems to have accepted money from a manufacturer of Hand Sanitiser while simultaneously having a role in approving such products, is looking green around the gills.
