Outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson may not be out of a job after September 5 if Nadhim Zahawi succeeds him as the new Prime Minister.
Mr Zahawi, one of the eight Tories who has made it on the first ballot, said he will offer Mr Johnson a job in his cabinet "if he wishes to serve".
Only a few weeks ago Mr Johnson was heard complaining to reporters that journalists make more money than politicians on an overseas trip.
