Boris Johnson's pay accounts for 85% of all outside earnings declared by MPs so far this year | Politics News | Sky News

Thursday 9 March 2023 11:50, UK

Boris Johnson earned 85% of all the outside pay generated by MPs this year, Sky News can reveal.
The former prime minister has declared earnings of £4.8m, mostly since stepping down from Downing Street, in speeches and book deals, the latest update to the Westminster Accounts by Sky News can reveal.



Some £3.7m of this was earned in just the first six weeks of this year, on top of the basic MP salary of £84,144.
Adding up the outside earnings of every MP in almost two months in 2023 comes to £4.4m, meaning that Mr Johnson received just under 85% of all second job cash. This includes all earnings released up to 20 February.
