I see he's even getting headlines now talking about about his future on the Talks and book circuits
Every ex PM coins it in after being in that office. It’s the main reason all MPs aspire to that position. Because it’s the financial golden ticket.

Criticise PMs as much as you like but absolutely none of them want to be PM because it could make them rich. Ask Blair. He was reported to have netted millions in the five years after office. Do you honestly think they do it for all the grief and £150k a year? No. They do it because of the kudos it attracts post office. To have been the PM in this country opens very big social, business and financial doors. With perhaps the exception of whopper Truss.

With respect NR, you're getting cause and effect mixed up.SOME PMs may make a lot of money after being PM (although Brown stands out as a counter example). NONE go into the job for that reason.
