Boris Johnson Gives Book Author S Peers A Job For His Wit And Wisdom Boris Johnson

Journalist Harry Mount, former member of the Bullingdon Club and author of The Wit and Wisdom of Boris Johnson, will take up the role on the House of Lords appointments committee from 11 September. The body is responsible for vetting all nominations to the Lords. This will include all of Johnson’s requests to accept peerage as part of his resignation price list. Independent members are appointed for a five-year non-renewable term. The government said the role was widely advertised. Labour’s deputy leader, Angela Rayner, said: “This is a display of sheer arrogance from Boris Johnson, who is putting his own top friend on the dole in parliament. Instead of addressing the cost-of-living crisis facing the public, the prime minister is using his last days in office for a final, desperate bid to hand more jobs to boys. “Rather than promising long overdue change, the Tory succession candidates are offering more of the same bumbling and self-interest that has defined their government for years.” Downing Street confirmed Mount’s appointment to Johnson last Friday in office. He is expected to formally resign as prime minister next Tuesday after the results of the Tory leadership contest are announced on Monday. Like Johnson, Mount was a member of the all-male Bullingdon Club during his time at Oxford University. Mount began writing for the Spectator in 2002 under Johnson’s editorship. He also writes a column for Johnson’s former employers, the Daily Telegraph. He now edits Oldie magazine. Mount’s father is Ferdinand Mount, who was an adviser to Margaret Thatcher. He is also a second cousin of David Cameron, another former member of the Bullingdon Club. A 2007 article about the Mount in the New Yorker said: “At Oxford, the Mount was chosen for the exclusive Bullingdon Club. enjoys some notoriety for riding down a hill in a portable toilet. “It was like stepping out of Dracula’s coffin,” he recalled, at a dinner near the Met. Johnson has already been criticized for putting Tory donors on his resignation price list. The names he is said to have submitted for co-ordination include donor and Conservative Party co-chairman Ben Elliott, who had business links to Russian money. Elliott, who Johnson also appointed to the V&A board, has received Tory donations from Lubov Chernukhin, husband of Vladimir Putin’s former finance minister, and Aquind, a company co-owned by billionaire Viktor Fedotov.
