It comes after the former PM's latest declaration of a £2.5m advance payment for speaking events.

The nearly £2.5m advance in his latest declaration is from the New York-based Harry Walker speaking agency, for an unspecified number of speeches.

Under ministerial rules, former ministers are not allowed to take jobs that involve influencing government for two years after leaving their post. The £4.8m in earnings that Mr Johnson has declared since leaving No 10 just over five months ago is more than 50 times his yearly £84,144 MP salary. Mr Harborne has previously donated more than £15m to the Conservatives, the Brexit Party, and Reform UK.

* ● Funny how that works

Doesn’t matter how much he makes, he still has to live with the fact that as a self-styled born again Winston Churchill he was a lamentable risible contemptible failure.

We all knew this would be his reward for being the 'clown' distraction for his party. Those who watched their loved ones die through a care home window while he and his supporters partied will not forget.

Well done Boris

How much tax is he paying on that ?

Wow can he pay for my gas and electric for the year then. I'm sorry but the this is a slap in face when people are struggling. I mean good luck to the man however like seriously some companies put prices up and made profits of big and we struggling on peanuts. Makes me angry!!!

Spare a few quid could ya Boris?

What’s with the messy hair

Yet still an MP, profiteering from colossal balls up

Worth every penny

So hecan,and should pay his own legal fees! Scrounging idler!

That almost £10 each for all his children

He’ll feel pretty pissed off when he pays his 20 quid in taxes👍

Why do we all tolerate this!? Why is this allowed? Where is the money from from? And I know if the tax been paid

His priority: anything BUT being an MP

😂😂🤣🤣

peterjukes Yet he still wants others to pay his bills

And?

Britain must be one of the few countries where you can be corrupt and lie and get away with it all

Since leaving that Downing Street office: he still has that little pin-money side-hustle as a back bench MP.

So what? Kids are expensive. So is wallpaper.

Should have kept him as PM to keep his money down.

and he gets 'a pay rise without Striking !

And still not a hairbrush to be found.

Boris Johnson had a lifelong ambition to be a former Prime Minister. He had no interest in duty, no greater purpose, no interest even in politics, he didn't 'minister' anything. He just wanted to do it so he was always associated with it. He cares not for his constituents.

He deserves even more!

and yet we appear to be funding his legal fees for partygate. Repugnant. RishiSunak

Well pay boris!

How can it be possible whikst holding down a job as an MP. No wonder they suggested take a second job to help with living crisis, its easy if your doing zero hours in the first job

Not quite the clown he he would like us beleave, but a very dangerous calculated deceitful lying crook.

I presume he's paying tax on this ?

Pig

Who is paying so much money to listen to him?!?

Good on you Boris they did not appreciate you but we always did

He hasn’t totally left office though has he? We’re still paying him to be an MP, maybe he could have a bash at doing that from time to time?

And yet needed 800k loan ...guarantored to secure his mate the Beeb job ! Jobs for all the boys....tax free no doubt!

I am sure he is donating it all to Ukraine!

Just enough to pay off his debts then.

Offshore company?

Earnings? Poor choice of words im sure that's fake news

Barry the backbencher has a new grift

In higher office he was begging for money But since leaving he is making millions. They all do it after leaving the higher office. Touring the world talking about their life as prime ministers and how they screwed the nation

Good on yer Boris lad 👍

Good on him.

Well done Boris

He's been handsomely paid by Zelensky

This isn’t normal and isn’t acceptable.These people are supposed to be public servants not pop stars.

Good

yeh he will need all of that to pay for the number of kids he cant afford

That’s what it was all about after all, selling his ‘eccentric upper class twit’ act. Kerching, job done.

Just a ‘ghostie’ in the Tory sewer of governance.

So what? The BBC's own Naga Munchetty makes £1m+ on top of her BBC earnings every year. There are probably more people willing to pay to listen to Johnson.

Is this he’s wages for trying to start ww3 🙄

Why does his hair always looks like someone rubbed a balloon on his head lol 😆🤭

Good for him.

Earnings? He earnt it?

Follow the money

Beyond shocking!

Good for him, as long as it's earned legally.

So why does he needs loans?

And people thought he was a fool

So?

Nice boost for the Tax Man

And?

I trust that he is negotiating with HMRC!!!

I'm assuming he'll be setting up his food bank company then?

Good for him

🤬😈

Some really sad people in the world paying rediculous amounts of money to listen to him.

By appearing in comedy shows. No intellectual will listen lies from this liar

This is how the WEF bribe. They can't do it via direct payments they pay for speeches instead

So why are we paying his legal fees!

Has he set one foot in his constituency?

I’m happy for him. He’s a capable man! 👍👍 At least he’s working to get paid, not taking tax payers money.

Sad case of the rich Brits. Cannot understand why they would want to listen to a serial liar. A man that caused Brexit and made UK a laughing stock of the world. Thought it a joke to have illegal parties. The rich are really out of touch with the world

Fine. Hope he pays his tax

Clever Boris Upscaling his failure Not a crime Though it’s galling

The left and the media wanted him out. They got their way and now they are moaning about how much money he is earning. Boris is box office….they can’t accept it.

That is is what happens when you do the globalist bidding. He is pushing the war, just like they want.

And? It's none of our business.

....but still claims expenses

Massive pay cut from when he was PM.

But after his various child maintenance payments he has £4.50 left.

What about Rishi & his missus?

Absent from MP duty..

😡

So why are we still paying his legal fees for covid party breaking?

He's smarter than we thought,he was.

Good for him. ScumMedia helped thank you.

YOU can’t afford your energy bills yet this clown can make £5m What’s your excuse? Brits just dont wanna work these days

And Tony Blair?

And still can't afford a comb or iron

BREXIT didn’t do him any harm

GOOD ON YA BLUE - REMEMBER TO PAY THE TAX 👈👀😻

Interesting, but how much have Blair & Brown earned since leaving No 10? Do you run similar stories about Labour politicians ? bbcbias

Hand rubbing intensifies

So hold the Clown to account and stop protecting him he is a charlatan and a crook

Is this pay for future work or work he completed while Prime minister ?

Then why does a donor have to supply a house for him to live in, what a sponge he is, good luck Carrie.

he can pay his own damn legal fees then

So what he deserves it!

He can donate it to the Ukraine....stop using tax payers money for wars

Good for him

But has he repaid his loans? RichardSharp has BorisTheLiar repaid the loan yet? BBC, can you please ask either of them.

I see we are counting MPs pockets. What about the others

See kids crime does pay after all

🤬

If he earns so much, why did he need an £800,000 bribe, oops loan!

Perhaps the 21st century Bob Geldof could give some of his new-found fortune to Ukraine rather than stand on his pedestal preaching for everyone else to do something all the time?

Huh wow

He was paid off not to be PM!

politics is the world's biggest grift.

I Think I Speak For All British People When I Say This Is A Free Country And The Man Can Make As Much Money As He Wants!

Brilliant

No amount of money can change how grotesque BorisJohnson is. odiousman

Like every other ex PM So what?

Gone up 2.5 since this morning

After what he did to this country during Covid, why would anyone employ a bare faced liar to speak let alone pay tens or even hundreds of thousands of pounds? It's basically his mates paying him to speak after him and his cronies gifted them millions in contracts

And the muppets of Uxbridge are standing by to reelect Boris of piffle. CashForPiffle

Has he done anything in his constituency in said time. thought not, W⚓️

Politics is just a stepping stone to the elite club these days, and the people are usually the stone getting stepped on.

Good for him

Obviously he's doing alot of lobbying 🤷 corrupt as fuck the whole establishment

You’d have to pay me to listen to that vacuous charlatan

Shocking! Like his hair!

Just in time to put up some new wallpaper.

I bet he does the lying fuck , bur for some reason i still trust him more than Keir_Starmer

Just as well he doesn't appear to have a day job

Wow that's £2.4m tax he's most likely going to dodge paying then

Does he do any actual work for his MP's salary? Or just waffle and bluster through his million pound talks?

THIS is why he wanted to be PM. It wasn’t sunlit uplands thanks to brexit or a moral duty to take back control… nope - he wanted the top job to feather his nest with millions of pounds.

Maybe all the Boris drones that think he gives a shit about them will now realise why he wanted the job. Bravo.

Ironically he's never been to his office in Uxbridge

Who cares!!

Putting Boris first 👍🏻

That's a lot of wine box buses sold on ebay, well done I say!

Millions of pounds to speak, to someone who can barely speak.
