Boris Johnson's Daily Mail Job Sparks Ethics Controversy
TL;DR
Boris Johnson, who resigned from Parliament amid the Partygate scandal, has joined The Daily Mail as a columnist. The newspaper announced that Johnson would publish his first column on Friday afternoon and every Saturday going forward. However, Johnson's new gig has landed him in more ethical hot water as he's accused of violating anti-corruption policies by only informing the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments of his new job 30 minutes before it was publicly announced.
