Profession: Journalist, Former mayor of london, Former foreign secretary, Prime minister, uk

Boris Johnson (born 19 June 1964) is a former journalist, former Mayor of London, former Foreign Secretary, and former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. After he resigned as prime minister, Johnson remained in the House of Commons as a backbencher until he resigned in June 2023, days before the Privileges Committee unanimously found that he had lied to the House of Commons on numerous occasions.

Initially coming to public attention as a columnist focusing on scathing critiques of the EU, Johnson rose to be editor of The Spectator magazine (1999-2005) and the Member of Parliament for Uxbridge from the 2001 general election to 2008. He is frequently mentioned on the show as his first appearance on it helped cement his public persona as a buffoonish eye-roll inducing caricature. The show became a way to endear himself to the public in a country where self-deprecation is an art form.

In July 2022, after Johnson announced his intention to resign as prime minister, a special was aired called Have I Got News For Boris.
