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.
