Boris Johnson set to be new columnist at Daily Mail

The former British prime minister — and now ex-MP — will return to his journalism roots and write a weekly column for the right-leaning Daily Mail newspaper.

According to Report, three separate figures told POLITICO London Playbook that a trail for a mystery “erudite new columnist” on the Mail’s Friday front page referred to Johnson. According to the trailer, the new columnist will start Saturday — and will be “required reading in Westminster.”

Johnson will earn a “very-high six-figure sum” to write the column, according to one figure.
