Boris Johnson criticised for making millions while rarely appearing in Commons
The Guardian says Boris Johnson has been urged to stick to his job as an MP and save the speeches he charges private companies millions of pounds to hear for the House of Commons.
Having already made more than £3.7m in 2023, the former prime minister has faced criticism for the limited time he has spent making contributions in parliament.
New figures released by the “Westminster accounts” investigation, led by Sky News, show Johnson’s outside pay this year accounts for about 85% of that for all MPs.
There is no suggestion of wrongdoing and Johnson is said to have ensured all his extra pay has been declared in line with the rules.
