Former UK PM Boris Johnson turns TV presenter at news channel
London/IBNS: Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Friday he would join television station GB News, adding another media role to his job as a columnist for the Daily Mail newspaper.
"I'm going to be giving this remarkable new TV channel my unvarnished views on everything from Russia to China, the war in Ukraine, how we meet all those challenges, to the huge opportunities that lie ahead for us," Boris Johnson wrote on X page.

GB News said Boris Johnson would work as a presenter, programme maker, and commentator starting in early 2024.
He would play a key role in covering Britain's next national election, which is expected next year, as well as elections in the United States, according to GB News.
The TV channel launched in 2021 with a mix of news, opinion, and analysis that is more similar to US networks such as Fox News than other British broadcasters.
Britain's broadcasting watchdog has ruled the station breached impartiality rules on various occasions.
