Rishi Sunak has secured a new role following his departure from No10, adding to his list of accomplishments. The former Conservative Prime Minister, currently serving as the MP for Richmond and Northallerton, is actively seeking to re-engage with the public eye. He has been appointed as a weekly columnist for the Sunday Times newspaper, marking another addition to his portfolio of roles since the Tories’ historic election defeat.

Sunak will contribute a weekly column to the Business section of the Sunday Times in both print and online formats starting this weekend. Described by the newspaper as an esteemed and respected individual, he will cover a range of topics including business, technology, politics, and the economy.

Recent reports revealed that Sunak has also taken on advisory positions at tech giants Microsoft and Anthropic, an AI company. Additionally, he joined Goldman Sachs this summer as a senior adviser, leveraging his unique insights on global politics and the economy, drawing on his prior experience at the bank in the early 2000s.

With an estimated net worth of £640 million, Sunak and his wife, Akshata Murty, are featured on the Sunday Times rich list. Notably, the fees generated from Sunak’s new column will be directed to The Richmond Project, an educational charity co-founded by Sunak and Murty aimed at enhancing children’s mathematical skills.

Sunak’s appointment at the Sunday Times has received clearance from ACOBA, the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments, which offers guidance to Ministers and senior Civil Servants regarding post-office appointments.

Expressing his enthusiasm, Sunak stated, “I am honored to join the esteemed team at The Sunday Times as a columnist, given my longstanding readership of their business pages. I look forward to engaging in a weekly dialogue with readers about the transformative forces shaping the global economy, from politics to technology.”

The Sunday Times Editor, Ben Taylor, welcomed Sunak to the team, praising his extensive expertise and insightful perspectives that will aid readers in navigating the increasingly intricate business landscape. Taylor expressed confidence in Sunak’s unrivaled experience on the world stage and in government, anticipating that his column will be a must-read every weekend for their audience.
