Hmmm. I've a feeling this could turn out to be Boris' first mistake: Newly elected London mayor Boris Johnson will return to the Daily Telegraph - where he is expected to earn about £250,000 a year for his weekly column.
Johnson will resume writing for the newspaper in the summer and write the column at weekends for publication on Monday or Tuesday, his spokesman Guto Hari confirmed.
So far, he's been pitch perfect with his appointments and actions. But doesn't this just reek of the part-time mayor notion? Of course there's no reason in theory why Boris - or anyone else - shouldn't do more than one job when holding public office, but it hardly gives off the right vibes.
In the end he'll be judged on how he does as mayor, but I do think it's a mistake for him to appear so cavalier about his main job.
