Moonlighting
As Stephen says, it's hard to see how the mayor is going to be able to sell the idea of combining his new post with a reported £250,000 a-year column for the Telegraph. But then, if you've read the Gimson book, you'll know that having one's cake and attempting to eat it while riding a unicycle is a recurrent theme of the man's career. I actually found the biography depressing and hugely entertaining at one and the same time. Let's just hope Boris Mk II wasn't simply a mirage.

May 15th, 2008 7:53pmA couple of very amusing blogs from Stephan & Clive - and all the more delightful if we suspect the presence of a considerable dose of sour grape juice, eh?
Clive
May 16th, 2008 10:50amOh yes, I've always felt it was my destiny to be mayor of London and a top Westminster columnist. And he's got blonde hair too. It's not fair... Just as a matter of interest, Stephen supported Boris's campaign. I didn't, although I wrote in praise of Ray Lewis' appointment.
Perhaps I should consider banning comments from the under-12s in future.
