Cabinet minister pocketed £13,000 from private sector firms in a month

A senior cabinet minister pocketed £13,000 from a hedge fund and art dealers for "strategic advice" in the month before he was re-hired by Rishi Sunak.

Oliver Dowden resigned from Boris Johnson's cabinet - where he was minister without portfolio and chairman of the Conservative Party.

In September, he took up roles with Heni Limited - an "art services" business, and Caxton Associates, a hedge fund run by a donor who has handed almost £4m to the party - where he was raked in a combined £13,300 in just a month for his "strategy" and "policy" advice.
