The price of hearing Tony Blair speak
For some reason the link to the article on the Sunday Times website is broken but here is a screenprint of the summary:
The paper says that plans for Tony Blair to give a speech at a conference to discuss how to tackle world hunger were abandoned when organisers refused to meet a demand for a £250,000 fee plus £80,000 expenses.
Is this the going rate for former British Prime Ministers now?
