Dominic Raab given £20k of ‘career transition advice’ for private equity role

Former deputy PM lists gift of services from advisory firm as he takes on job with mining company

Dominic Raab is taking “leadership and career transition” advice as he embarks on a new £118,000-a-year job for a private equity mining company, according to the latest MPs’ register of interests.

The former deputy prime minister, who is stepping down as an MP at the next election, listed a gift of pro bono services worth £20,000 from Manchester Square Partners, which describes itself as a “trusted adviser to leaders, defined by discretion and hidden by design”, with a purpose to “support leaders to be in control of their futures”.
