I’m desperately hoping in her very recently updated will she has specifically asked for him to be excluded. The much deserved snub after his treatment of her would leave him incandescent.

I don't think the prospect can entirely be ruled out.

Creating Ltd companies to register earnings stemming from your political profile isn’t unusual. Interested to know how far Johnson’s market value has dropped. No credibility as an elder statesman on the lecture circuits but presenting industry award ceremonies full of drunken sales staff is still an option.

This is it. Whilst I know that it's common for former PMs to do this, I can't shake the knowledge that when Johnson does anything, it's for his own pleasure, advancement or both, and the idea that he must be up to something.

I think it's safe to say that everything he says or does is for his own benefit and always has been. As someone else intimated, his brand is too toxic for the lecture circuit and it's too early for the autobiography. Therefore there has to be the suspicion that he's up to something even in the most innocuous of circumstances.

Suspect one of the chaps in the City has been doing that discreetly for him for years. Don’t buy this scatter brain Boris who is always skint. He doesn’t pay for anything because he’s a chiselling little crook.

A friend pointed out to me this afternoon that it might just be a case of why pay 40% Income Tax when you can get away with paying 19% Corporation Tax instead?

He’s on the ear hole already. A lucrative gig for the err Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers
Former ministers need to apply for permission to take up outside employment only if they have signed an ongoing contract with a business, such as a speakers’ agency. Cabinet ministers are also expected to wait three months before taking up employment.

Johnson was recently added as an available speaker to the website of an agency called the Premium Speakers Agency but his profile disappeared and those close to him claim he was mistakenly listed.

Boris Johnson is facing questions over whether he followed rules on paid employment after leaving No 10 after receiving $150,000 (£135,000) for a speech to a group of US insurance brokers.

The former prime minister gave a speech to the Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers in Colorado Springs this week, only just over a month after leaving Downing Street. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... m=news_tab
