Britain's former prime minister Rishi Sunak has been cleared by a UK government watchdog to take on part-time, paid advisory roles with US-based tech giant Microsoft and AI firm Anthropic. Sunak, who now serves as a backbench Conservative Party MP for Richmond and Northallerton, had sought approval from the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (ACoBA) under the government's "Business Appointment Rules for Former Ministers". The committee published its decision on Thursday.
