Mrs May on £160k for 4 hours work!

-

AS BORIS Johnson has intimation­s of political mortality, he’ll welcome evidence of how lucrative life beyond No. 10 can be.

Despite being one of Downing Street’s least captivatin­g speakers, his predecesso­r, Theresa May, has just disclosed she was paid a staggering £160,370 for four and half hours work.

The former PM received the advance payment from the U.S. investment bank JP Morgan Chase for just two speaking engagement­s.

And she didn’t even need to travel to America, delivering the speeches online instead.

Boris’s record payment for a speech is said to be £51,250, from the Irish firm Pendulum Events for a speech in Dublin. But, as an ex-PM, he would be able to command far more.
