Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak Joins Sunday Times as Weekly Business Columnist

Rishi Sunak, the current MP for Richmond and Northallerton and former Conservative prime minister, has been hired as a weekly columnist for The Sunday Times, contributing to its business section both in print and online. His columns will cover a variety of topics including business, technology, politics, and the economy, aiming to engage in a "weekly conversation with readers" about the forces reshaping the global economy. Sunak expressed his honor at joining the paper and looks forward to discussing profound changes in the world economy, while The Sunday Times editor praised his vast expertise and brilliant mind as invaluable for readers navigating a complex business landscape. The fee for his column will be donated to The Richmond Project, an education charity founded by Sunak and his wife, focused on improving numeracy among young people. This new role follows Sunak's recent appointments at Oxford University's Blavatnik School of Government and the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, further establishing his post-government career. His column has been cleared by the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments, ensuring compliance with ethical guidelines for former officials.
