UK TREND: Twitter erupts over Johnson’s new Daily Mail job

Critics slammed Boris Johnson, claiming he exhibited “shamelessness,” as news broke that he had accepted a position to write a column for the Daily Mail, just a day after being found guilty of lying to Members of Parliament regarding the party gate scandal.

Johnson’s actions were deemed a “clear violation” of the regulations regarding external employment for parliamentarians, as he informed the relevant watchdog about his new Daily Mail column a mere thirty minutes before its public announcement.

Femi, a writer for the Independent, took to Twitter to highlight Boris Johnson’s history of dishonesty. Femi mentioned that Johnson had been dismissed twice from journalistic roles for lying, only to enter politics where he continued to deceive both the Queen and the country, resulting in another termination for his dishonesty. Femi expressed astonishment at the fact that the Daily Mail considered Johnson’s track record as the ideal qualification for informing their readers.

In the opinion of Labour Member of Parliament Diane Abbott, Boris Johnson has found his ideal professional home as a writer for the Daily Mail. Abbott suggests that the newspaper’s tolerance for lies, which are frequently present in its content, makes it a fitting platform for Johnson’s tendencies towards untruths and distortions.

Twitter users took to mocking the Daily Mail by raising the question of whether they were aware that “Johnson was dismissed from his previous position due to dishonesty.”

Despite the shock expressed by the public, the general sentiment on Twitter indicated that many believed he possessed the necessary qualifications to work for the Daily Mail, as it appeared to be the sole British employer that valued the trait of being a “pathological liar.”

Moreover, Twitter users highlighted the irony in the situation, as they expressed that it is quite remarkable for someone described as a “lazy criminal of foreign origin, with numerous children from multiple partners, dependent on welfare benefits, and utilizing taxpayer-funded activist lawyers due to a disregard for our laws and culture” to now writing for the Daily Mail rather than being a subject of their headlines.

Furthermore, it highlighted that by accepting this position, Boris Johnson has once again violated the rules, as he neglected to seek permission from Parliament prior to undertaking the job.
