Boris Johnson plans to resign as Prime Minister next spring, Tory MPs believe.
They say he has been privately complaining that he cannot live on a PM’s salary of £150,402 a year.
But first he wants another six months to get Brexit sorted and see the UK turn the corner from the pandemic, it is thought.
He is said to be jealous of his predecessor Theresa May, who has earned more than £1million on the lecture circuit since quitting as PM last year.
Mr Johnson believes he could pull in at least double that.
Shortly before entering No10 he made £160,000 in one month from two speeches. He was also paid £23,000 a month for a regular newspaper column.
