David Blunkett's diaries have earned him £200,000 already, despite reportedly poor sales, according to the Register of Members' Interests.

The former home secretary includes £165,000 from his publisher and £30,000 from Channel 4 for a related show, but lists serialisation fees from the Guardian and Daily Mail as "to be notified". All the cash has gone to his firm Hadaw, from which he has not drawn any income.

He also earned £150,000 for his column in the Sun. Tony Blair declares his holiday at Cliff Richard's villa in Barbados, but not how much he gave to charity in lieu of its cost.
