Under fire Conservative MP Sir Geoffrey Cox has left a pile of constituency post unread while he works his second lucrative legal job from the sunshine tax haven island of Mauritius.
Local voters told i they barely see their MP in the town, despite his constituency home only a ten minute drive from his office.
Marion and William Lake both voted for Sir Geoffrey at the 2019 election.
“We’ve been here since 1977 and we’ve never seen him,” Mr Lake said.
“It’s not a good look,” added Mrs Lake. “He’s not very good at looking after us because he’s looking after himself.”

Tories speak in Geoffrey Cox’s Devon seat: ‘I’ve never seen him here for years. Except at election time’.

It’s 2pm at the local Conservative Club. No one wants to provide their name. “We’re told not to talk on behalf of the party,” says one man. “But it’d be nice to see him in here.”
“He’s too posh for us here,” says a female member of the club.
Another Conservative Club member says: “A Dartmoor pony could get elected for the Tories here. That would probably make more of an effort to meet the locals too.”

Prof John Edmunds says situation is ‘urgent’ and that Ministers need get teenagers jabbed as well as expanding boosters to all.

@theipaper #COVID19 #CovidUK
Prof Edmunds: "We need to be more flexible about delivering vaccines to children to ensure that we reach them as soon as possible . . . It is critical that we give booster doses as rapidly as possible to older age groups – and perhaps the rest of us. This really is urgent now."
Prof Edmunds added: "The epidemic is concentrated in the young and unvaccinated. We [in England] are vaccinating them, but at a very slow rate. Scotland has done much better."
