This was reported by the Daily Mail on Twitter.

  • “We are delighted to announce Boris Johnson as our new columnist.
  • Known as one of the most brilliant and original editors in the field, Boris’s editorial will appear in the Daily Mail every Saturday,” the British daily announced.

The message is accompanied by a video in which the former British prime minister appears in various poses – running around the house or speaking at a plenary session of the House of Commons.

Johnson says everything he posts will be “completely uncensored.”

Before entering politics, Boris Johnson had a long career as a journalist and worked for The Times, The Daily Telegraph and The Spectator.

The British Parliament accuses Boris Johnson of deliberately lying in the “partygate” scandal.

The Daily Mail, a newspaper close to Britain’s Conservative Party, has announced it will welcome Boris Johnson into its fold, a day after a House of Commons committee completed a report that concluded the former prime minister deliberately lied to parliament over “partygate”. . scandal, the parties were held in the official government residence on Downing Street during the quarantine due to the pandemic.

The former Tory leader, who will soon turn 59, was last week handed the damning findings of a 14-month investigation into parties held at 10 Downing Street during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Johnson then resigned with a bang, denouncing a “witch hunt” and attacking Rishi Sunak, the current Conservative prime minister.

“The commission found no evidence” against us, Boris Johnson responded in a long, extremely aggressive statement in which he confirmed he did not believe he had done anything wrong and accused the commission of “lies” and “sick” findings, which wanted to give “the last stab at political murder”.

As he is no longer a member of the House of Commons, Boris Johnson is taking no chances. The report noted that if Johnson had not resigned, the privileges commission would have recommended a 90-day suspension, a very severe sanction that would likely trigger a midterm election in his district.

After leaving the post of Prime Minister, Boris Johnson earned solid sums from his speeches. According to declarations of interests submitted to Parliament in London, Boris Johnson received more than 750,000 pounds for just three speeches in November.
