Asked what her plans were when she left Downing Street last year Theresa May said she wanted to do a “bit more cooking” and watch more cricket.

However, the former prime minister has spent a lot more of her time in VIP airport lounges, raking in more than a million pounds on the international lecture circuit.  

Details released in the register of members’ interests reveal that Mrs May is in demand from big banks and American universities for insights into her time in power. Since stepping down last year she has agreed to eight speeches around the world for which she was paid on average more than £100,000 each.
