Daily Mail calling? Boris Johnson weighs offers for his return to journalism

Outgoing PM expected to find new home for his old trade as journalist after Telegraph cools on his qualities

Three days before he became prime minister, Boris Johnson's final column for the Daily Telegraph was published: a call for Britain to heed the lessons from the 1969 moon landings and embrace a can-do spirit" while implementing Brexit.

Such political insight did not come cheap, with Johnson pocketing a 275,000 salary for working 10 hours a month on his weekly opinion pieces.
