Former prime minister Boris Johnson has been named as a columnist for the Daily Mail newspaper, in a return to a journalistic career where he has in the past written for several leading titles in the UK and been sacked from one for making up a quote.
Johnson, 58, who stood down as an MP last week over an inquiry which found him guilty of deliberately misleading parliament over parties during COVID-19 lockdowns, will write for the Daily Mail every Saturday, the newspaper said.
