Same old same old
Johnson given Tory frontbench job
Boris Johnson has resigned as editor of the Spectator magazine to return to the Conservative front bench. New Tory leader David Cameron has named the flamboyant MP as shadow higher education minister, forcing him to choose between politics and journalism.
Mr Johnson served as shadow arts minister under Michael Howard but was later sacked from the post.

An adulterous toff has just been appointed to the shadow cabinet. Michael Howard reportedly sacked Johnson for lying about an affair he was having with an employee.
Old Tories : lying and cheating adulterers
New Tories : lying and cheating adulterers
I can see Cameron has started how he means to go on. Same old, same old then.

P.S. I do think Boris is great on HIGNFY, but that does not a minister-in-waiting make.
P.P.S. Sorry for boring to death those not interested in the subject, with recent political threads.

Suresh,
Maybe his job is the take the media heat off the rest of the Shadow Cabinet. But you need to justify those rather queer NL politicians' carryings on before you try to make too much political capital out of Boris.
