Angela Rayner is on course to make more than £100,000 from speaking engagements and her memoir - more than enough to pay off her outstanding tax bill and any potential fine from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) Rayner’s earning ability is enhanced by speculation that she could become the next Labour leader after the elections in May She gave a speech on January 29 to the Management Consultancies Association’s dinner for its members, for which she received a five figure sum She joined a call with City investors organised by BNP Paribas earlier this month, again for a five figure sum She and will speak at the Propertymark One conference in June - another event with a five figure payment. The conference is being held at the Excel in London with members charged £228 and non-members charged £264. There is an “after-party” which will cost a further £88. Rayner also received a five-figure advance for her memoirs, which will chart her impoverished childhood, leaving school at 16 while pregnant through to joining the union movement and becoming one of the most powerful people in the government. It will be seen as an attempt to tell her own story and project her values ahead of any leadership contest. The memoir will be released by The Bodley Head, an imprint of Vintage which in turn is a division of Penguin Random House UK. Rayner also gave a speech to Signum Global Advisors last week at an event to discuss the local elections and future policy challenges. She waived her fee and instead asked for a donation to be made to a charity in her constituency. She gave a speech at the Women of the Future Summit which was unpaid.
