With a record number of Tory MPs standing down at the Election some at least will be looking for a new job. They are mostly employed for their contacts and knowledge of Government (although there are limits on how this can be used- Boris Johnson gets a free pass)rather than to actually do something.
The Times (27th May) dredged up some examples
Dominic Raab: senior strategic advisory to a private equity outfit £118K pa
George Eustice: set up a consultancy. So far paid £34K for 168 hours work
Brandon Lewis: role at a private equity firm set up by Russian oligarchs £250K pa
