Cameron calls on bumbling Boris

THE new Tory leader yesterday made what may be his most popular but high-risk move by bringing Conservative clown prince Boris Johnson back to frontline politics.

David Cameron last night named Mr Johnson as the shadow minister for higher education. The appointment signals the end of his time in charge of The Spectator magazine.

Mr Johnson said the job would need "a lot of time and thought" and he would stand down from the magazine when the Christmas edition has gone to press.
