B0RIS Johnson has relinquished editorship of the Spectator magazine for a job in new Tory leader, David Cameron’s new shadow cabinet.
In a statement on Friday, Boris said: “This is a fantastic job and I am thrilled to be given the chance to do it. It is also a very hard job to do properly. It will mean a lot of time and thought.”
Last year, he was sacked as shadow arts minister by Michael Howard for allegedly lying over his affair with columnist Petronella Wyatt.
Boris added: “I want to pay tribute to everyone at the magazine who has helped with its current success. For the last six and a half years we have had more fun than seems altogether proper. When Conrad Black gave me the editorship in the summer of 1999, he said he wanted the magazine to be more talked about. I believe we have discharged that obligation beyond his wildest dreams. We have won all sorts of prizes. We have broken all sorts of stories.”
