MPs have declared £8m in earnings on top of their parliamentary salaries, with Boris Johnson accounting for more than a quarter of the total.

The former Tory prime minister earned £2.3m in the past 12 months, on top of the £84,000 salary he receives as an MP.

Almost all of that money has come in since Mr Johnson left No 10 in September, and it includes £1.8m in speaking fees and £510,000 for his upcoming memoir.
