London: Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will join television station GB News, adding another media role to his job as a columnist for Daily Mail newspaper.
“I’m going to be giving this remarkable new TV channel my unvarnished views on everything from Russia to China, the war in Ukraine, how we meet all those challenges, to the huge opportunities that lie ahead for us,” Johnson posted on Friday on social media platform X.
Come 2024, Johnson will start working as a presenter, programme maker and commentator for GB News, reported Reuters. He will play a key role in the news channel’s coverage of Britain’s next national election, which is expected next year, as well as elections in the United States.
GB News was launched in 2021 with a mix of news, opinion and analysis. In its short existence so far, the news channel has been ruled to have breached impartiality rules a number of time by Ofcom, Britain’s broadcasting watchdog.
Johnson, who became prime minister in 2019 and won a large majority in an election later that year, resigned in 2022 following multiple scandals which cost him the support of many Conservative Party lawmakers.
Having worked as a journalist before entering politics, Johnson began writing columns for the Daily Mail in June last year.
