Leaked files show former PM made 34 paid appearances in less than two years and reveal details of his disclosures
Boris Johnson earned more than £5m from less than two years of paid speeches after standing down as prime minister, leaked files suggest.
Transcripts and itineraries demonstrate the globe-trotting nature of the former prime minister’s new life as a public speaker. He made 34 paid appearances between leaving office in September 2022 and May 2024, according to a file in the leak.
He spoke at a conference on leadership in Delhi, a blockchain symposium in Singapore, in a public lecture series in Lagos and at a summit on green hydrogen in Abu Dhabi. Each earned Johnson $350,000 (£259,000).
Some of the speeches were delivered in public or have previously been reported on. Others, such as the former prime minister’s bizarre turn as the headline act at the 50th birthday party of a German pharmaceutical company boss, have not.
