But it was conspicuously absent from The Daily Mail, the biggest and most influential British tabloid.
That is — until one looked above the headline about Mr. Johnson’s latest woes to a curiously familiar silhouette of a figure with a generous head of hair.
Next to it was a headline that said, “Starting tomorrow: Our erudite new columnist, who’ll be required reading in Westminster — and across the world!”A spokesman for The Mail, Sean Walsh, confirmed that the mysterious new writer was Mr. Johnson, the former prime minister.
His first weekly column was due to be posted on The Mail’s website on Friday around 5 p.m. local time (noon Eastern), Mr. Walsh said, and would appear as a full page in print on Saturday.
