He can mint it now he doesn't have people constantly pestering him about attending Cobra meetings and stuff.

Boris Johnson has received £2.5m as an advance for speeches, meaning he has received earnings, hospitality and donations worth more than £5m over the last six months since leaving office.

Grift continues.

Grift continues.

I sometimes wonder if the main reason these people want to be PM for fifteen minutes is the lifetime of lucrative speaking engagements it brings.

Teresa May $150k a pop. Liz Truss £65k... who would hire Liz Truss as a speaker?!

In the spirit of ‘man bites dog’ journalism: ‘Boris nearly had Polly Toynbee’.

Payments for past favours more likely. Dressed up to make it appear there was no illegality or corruption.

I liked the bit where she can joke that she`s one of the many women who have seen Boris naked.

Having seen him in a nappy she didn`t want a baby of her own.....

She makes me laugh.

Really?

"I'm confident nothing untoward happened over speeding course," says Suella Braverman

I suppose that insofar as she didn`t get away with it she`s correct.

 

[kensalriser]

Braverman’s toast, she just hasn’t accepted it yet.

 

[Enfield boy]

For a politician she has little regard for the ministerial code, for a lawyer she has little regard for the law, for a human she has little regard for humanity. A perfect tory.

I've just seen her (SB) response on Sky news.

Car crash to add to speeding.

Why can't an MP answer a bloody direct and simple question?

I wish one of the reporters would go full on Jamie McDonald from The Thick Of It on her…..

Just answer the ****ing question….
