We paid his legal fees! Money Boris Johnson made since leaving No10 is angering many

If only we could all come into a job, make a complete mess of it, then make millions afterwards, by telling people about it over dinner. Well, that’s what former PM Boris Johnson has been doing

He has been handed a £2.5m advance for speaking gigs as he boosted his mammoth earnings since he was turfed out of Downing Street.

It takes his outside income in the past 12 months to almost £5m, on top of the £84,000 salary he still receives as a backbench MP.

Taxpayer

If that was enough emerged last the taxpayer could end up contributing more than £222,000 in legal fees for the former prime minister’s defence.

Mr Johnson is also under pressure over his ties to BBC chair Richard Sharp, who has denied facilitating a loan of up to £800,000 for the then-prime minister before he backed his appointment to lead the broadcaster.

Reactions

1.

Boris Johnson has declared £4.8m of income since quitting as PM – 50 times his actual salary – is there any precedent for this?

2.

Yet he needs to borrow money, lives rent free in other peoples houses,gets free holidays, and expects the public to pay for his legal expenses.

I have done a bit of speaking, hosting and never ever paid in advance. Dates change. Events get cancelled. And I’m paid nowhere near this!! Hello??? Boris Johnson Has Been Paid £2.5 Million For Speeches He Hasn't Made Yet | HuffPost UK Politics https://t.co/4ll1dR2tM4

Boris Johnson has declared an advance payment of £2.5 million for 'future speaking engagements'.

Remember that when they tell you key workers don't deserve a proper pay rise.

Boris Johnson just admitted to having received £2.5 million for speeches he hasn’t yet given, to people we don’t know, and you want to talk about unions funding Labour? https://t.co/ucIS2ANlYm

I am starting an Urgent Appeal to fund #BorisJohnson's lifestyle.
Boris, bless him, has only trousered £2.5 million quid for speaking engagements recently.
Did you know Boris also does weddings and children's parties?

Boris Johnson earned £5 million in 5 months and still got £200k+ legal aid to defend himself over Partygate.

How much would you get if you were charged with murder and had a household income over £37,500?

So, he makes £5 million in a matter of months and yet still has to freeload off Lord Bamford https://t.co/sGk5G9nOqV
