Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced that he will join the TV channel GB News as a presenter, programme maker, and commentator. Johnson will play a significant role in the channel's coverage of the UK and US elections next year and will host a series highlighting Britain's global influence.

He aims to share his unfiltered opinions on various topics, including international affairs. Johnson is the latest Conservative politician to join GB News, following others like Jacob Rees-Mogg and Esther McVey.

This move is expected to boost the channel's ratings but has also raised questions about politicians hosting news programs and potential conflicts of interest, given Johnson's previous role as prime minister.
