Boris Johnson has mocked a fellow Tory who served as a minister in his Cabinet in a 1,200-word ramble about weight loss drugs and Julius Caesar.
In his first article in his new newspaper column - which is said to be part of a £1million contract - the ex-PM told a long-winded story about how a Cabinet member had "miraculous changed his appearance" when he lost weight.
He went on to say how he was suspicious the minister - who Mr Johnson chooses not to name - was going to have a stab at running for leader of the Conservative party.
