Register of MPs’ financial interests show former home secretary is highest earner for speeches this parliament
Suella Braverman is the latest senior Tory to be cashing in on the international speaking circuit, as it was revealed she was paid nearly £60,000 for making speeches around the world, the highest of any current MP.
Braverman also declared that she received £14,000 for articles she wrote for the Telegraph, and she also had an all-expenses trip to Israel worth £27,800 paid for by the National Jewish Assembly. Braverman had been hoping to become the next Conservative party leader until recently. She had been the only Tory leadership hopeful who had registered income from making speeches during the year. Kemi Badenoch, James Cleverly and Robert Jenrick had senior government jobs that stopped them from taking outside work.
Rishi Sunak, who remains an MP but stood down as prime minister last month, has not registered any speaking engagements for the year.
