It’s safe to say that most Conservative MPs will want to forget about 2022: three Prime Ministers, four Chancellors and nose-diving polls to boot. But for one MP at least, it wasn’t all bad. The Tories’ fortunes may have taken a drubbing, but unlike her party, Theresa May had a pretty successful year. Accounts published today show that in the year up until March 2022, the former PM’s eponymous company declared more than £1,186,000 in net assets – some £338,000 up on the previous twelve months.
It’s all thanks to the Maidenhead MP’s success on the speaking circuit, with her speeches regularly commanding six-figure sums. While her successors in No. 10 have spent the last few months either seeking a comeback (Boris) or casting shade at Rishi (Liz), good old Theresa and her staff have been happy to quietly count up the cash, which she declares in her regular entries to the register of interests.
