Boris Johnson raked in £239,000 for a speech in Nigeria where he joked he didn’t deserve his Partygate fine.
The scandal-hit former Prime Minister has been on a moneymaking crusade since he was forced out of No10, trousering more than £5million in his first six months out of office.
Mr Johnson registered £239,009.42 from the Osigwe Anyiam-Osigwe Foundation in the MPs’ register of interests for an appearance at a conference in Lagos in March, including a speech, flights and accommodation for himself and two members of staff.
Mr Johnson went on: “For keen followers of British politics, I want you to know the fabled birthday cake remained unseen, by which the BBC and the rest of the media fulminated for most of the rest of the year, [by] me throughout that 20 minutes in its Tupperware box and was belatedly discovered and consumed by my private secretary.”
