EXCLUSIVE: Clive Myrie, one of the BBC’s most senior news anchors, has been criticized after making thousands of pounds delivering speeches to an investment company linked to Israeli arms suppliers.
Myrie is a household name in the UK and will be the face of the BBC’s election night coverage next month after being elevated into a more prominent role following the resignation of Huw Edwards in April.
The presenter supplements his £290,000 ($370,000) BBC salary with external speaking engagements and he was paid up to £10,000 ($13,000) by Quilter Cheviot, one of the UK’s largest asset managers, to present at a series of adviser roadshow events earlier this year.
