Sir Keir Starmer is set to cash in on lucrative speaking gigs after being turfed out of Downing Street by signing up with a US-based agency.
The former prime minister, who was ousted by Andy Burnham in July, has taken up a paid role with Creative Artists Agency (CAA).
The Los Angeles-headquartered firm also boasts former US President Joe Biden and ex-New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern on its books.
Other clients include failed US presidential candidate Kamala Harris, human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, and actress Gwyneth Paltrow.
It is the first paid employment that Sir Keir has found since he quit Westminster entirely by resigning as MP for Holborn and St Pancras in September.
The 64-year-old sought advice from Sir Laurie Magnus, the independent adviser on ministerial standards, on taking up the role.

A profile on the CAA website states that Sir Keir 'offers a rare insider's perspective on the geopolitical, economic, and security forces reshaping Europe and the wider world'.
It adds that he 'brings firsthand insight into leading through uncertainty, driving change, and delivering results under immense pressure'.
'For business and financial audiences, he connects geopolitical decisions directly to markets, investment, competitiveness, private capital, and the global business environment,' it continues.
'From Ukraine and European security to shifting alliances and political instability, Sir Keir helps audiences understand what today's global upheaval could mean for governments, businesses, and society.'
The profile boasts of Sir Keir's work as a barrister, his role as Director of Public Prosecutions in England and Wales, and his achievements in taking Labour from opposition and into government.
But it doesn't mention how his two-year premiership saw him lose the faith of Labour MPs and succumb to a coup by Mr Burnham and his allies.
Whitehall's business appointment rules require all former ministers to seek the advice of Sir Laurie for all work they wish to take up for a period of two years after leaving office.
In his advice to Sir Keir, Sir Laurie reminded the ex-premier he should not draw on any privileged information available to him when he was PM in his new role.
Sir Keir was also told not to become personally involved in lobbying the Government on behalf of CAA for a two-year period.
It comes after Rachel Reeves, who served as Sir Keir's Chancellor, also signed up with corporate speaking agencies.
She sought approval to go on the books of the Washington Speakers Bureau and Chartwell Speakers Bureau.
Her profile on the Chartwell Speakers website describes her as 'one of the UK's most prominent economic and political figures'.
