Who's Paying These Flops?

David Cameron walked out after losing his Brexit gamble, Theresa May was removed by her own party as was Liz Truss but not before she tanked the British economy with her economic debacle and then Boris Johnson was removed by his own Party and finally forced to quit for lying to Parliament so all in all, not a good run for the four Conservative Leaders who have taken turns in the big seat since 2010 but by all accounts all four are minting it in giving speeches.
Since 2015 when he was last seen walking away from the Downing Street podium for the last time, Cameron has made over £5m from speeches, charging £120,000 a time while Theresa May charges £109,000 a speech and the disastrous Liz Truss is asking £16,500 per speech and remember she was outlasted by a lettuce but the top earner is Boris Johnson who demands £250,000 per speech and you have to ask who the hell is paying them?
One walked away because he couldn't see how he could clean up the mess he mad, two of them were removed by their own side for incompetence and one was so distrusted by his own colleagues that they refused to work with him and then forced him out of Politics for having a less than honest relationship with telling the truth so none of them are being hired to speak on what a bang up job when they held the levers of power.
Maybe that is what they are talking about, how they managed to piss it all away but that is unlikely, Liz Truss has already been on TV bleating about how her economic miracle was not allowed to work by an 'anti-growth coalition' which turned out to include everyone on Earth apart from her and Kwasi Kwarteng.
David Cameron told a House Committee just last week that his severe austerity program had no detrimental effect on the UK and Boris Johnson is still banging on to anyone who will listen that his removal was wrong and in his resignation speech managed to blame everyone else, what he labelled the blob, for what he did but that must be a very powerful blob that made him attend all those lock-down parties and then lie about not being there until the photo's arrived, and then still deny it.
To my mind if you are paying a small fortune to hear words of wisdom from people that flopped so badly, then good luck with that, you work for a company with much more money than sense.
