Zahawi was chief executive and a director of YouGov until 2010, and Balshore Investments disposed of its YouGov shareholdings about eight years later. It is legally permitted to hold assets offshore, but Zahawi is now facing calls for greater transparency. The revelation comes after a report last week in the Independent that Zahawi was investigated by the National Crime Agency (NCA). The investigation did not lead to any action and there is no suggestion of wrongdoing.

On 1 June, Lord Geidt said he wanted Johnson to explain why he thought his fixed penalty notice did not show he had broken the ministerial code. [588] But Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta struggled to recall his name during a joint news conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May in Nairobi on Thursday. Further information: List of international prime ministerial trips made by Boris Johnson Johnson with US president Donald Trump at the G7 summit in Biarritz, 26 August 2019 Libération saw “chaotic organisation” on show at the summit; Le Monde “apparent nonchalance” from the British side. “He seems a lot more interested in re-litigating Brexit with Brussels than with convincing global leaders to raise their CO 2 reduction targets,” the paper wrote. The decision was revealed by PinkNews, which quoted a Foreign Office spokesman saying that the rainbow flag could be flown to mark events such as the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) on 17 May as well as local pride celebrations.In October 2023, Johnson announced he would join the television channel GB News as a presenter, commentator and programme maker for the upcoming General Election and US Presidential Election. [721] [722] Liz Truss is another keen advocate, being pictured in her office with two flags, one on either side of her desk, even having one positioned behind her during Zoom-based virtual cabinet meetings. One still-serving official said more regular video calls with foreign counterparts during the pandemic had shown up this difference all the more. “We don’t have a flag in our office,” the official said. “I did recently think about trying to get one, but I’m actually not sure where you’d buy one from.”

Bloomberg News suggested that Johnson's interest in climate change increased after becoming prime minister, and suggested this could have been influenced by his wife Carrie Symonds and father Stanley Johnson, who are both environmental campaigners. [748] On 27March, it was announced that Johnson had tested positive for COVID-19. [493] On 5April, with his symptoms persisting, he was admitted to a hospital for tests. [494] The next day, his condition having worsened, he was moved to the hospital's intensive care unit; [495] [496] Dominic Raab was appointed to deputise for him. [496] Johnson left intensive care on 9April, [497] and left hospital three days later to recuperate at Chequers. [498] After a fortnight at Chequers, he returned to Downing Street on 26April and was said to be chairing a government COVID-19 " war cabinet" meeting. [499] Johnson later said that he had been given emergency oxygen while in intensive care, and that doctors had made preparations in case of the event of his death. [500] A Foreign Office spokesperson confirmed the news to the Press Association.While still foreign secretary, Hammond last month rejected a call from the House of Commons foreign affairs committee to drop his opposition to use of the rainbow flag.The company said in a statement to the Observer this weekend: “When Nadhim Zahawi was a director of YouGov plc, his beneficial interests in the company included shares held by Balshore Investments Ltd, a family trust of Nadhim Zahawi.” A source close to Zahawi said he “does not have, and never has had, an interest in Balshore Investments and he is not a beneficiary.”

In February 2016, Johnson endorsed Vote Leave in the "Out" campaign for the 2016 European Union membership referendum. [312] He called Cameron's warnings about leaving "greatly over exaggerated". Following this announcement, which was interpreted by financial markets as making Brexit more probable, the pound sterling slumped by nearly 2% against the US dollar, reaching its lowest level since March 2009. [313] With that scheme finally cancelled, his Routemasters no longer in production owing to cost, his water cannon sold for scrap last year at a huge loss and his cable car being used by four commuters a week, Johnson’s legacy is looking increasingly slight. So what did he actually want to achieve as mayor? In a report on the FCO’s human rights work, the committee said Hammond’s decision not to fly the flag for Pride 2015 in London “signalled an apparent change in FCO policy and sent a message that contradicts much of the actual work and objectives of the FCO”. Johnson declined to describe the Chinese government's treatment of the Uyghur people as "genocide", despite use of the term by the United States. [648] Johnson's government argued that genocide should be decided by the International Criminal Court. [649] Nevertheless, he called what is happening to the Uyghurs in Xinjiang as "utterly abhorrent". [648] In 2015, Johnson criticised then-presidential candidate Donald Trump's false comments that there were no-go zones in London governed by shariah and inaccessible for non-Muslims. Johnson said Trump was "betraying a quite stupefying ignorance that makes him, frankly, unfit to hold the office of president of the United States", [301] becoming the first senior politician in the UK to declare Trump unfit for office, but rejecting calls for him to be banned from the country. [302] Johnson added that he "would invite [Trump] to come and see the whole of London and take him round the city – except I wouldn't want to expose Londoners to any unnecessary risk of meeting Donald Trump". [301] He later called Trump's comments "ill informed" and "complete and utter nonsense", adding that "the only reason I wouldn't go to some parts of New York is the real risk of meeting Donald Trump". [303] In 2016, he said he was "genuinely worried that he could become president", telling ITV's Tom Bradby of one moment where he was mistaken for Trump in New York as "one of the worst moments" of his life. [304]During his tenure as London Mayor, Johnson gained a reputation as "a liberal, centre-ground politician", according to Business Insider. [731] In 2012, the political scientist Tony Travers described Johnson as "a fairly classic—that is, small-state—mildly eurosceptic Conservative" who, like his contemporaries Cameron and George Osborne, also embraced "modern social liberalism". [732] The Guardian stated that while mayor, Johnson blended economic and social liberalism, [733] with The Economist saying that in doing so Johnson "transcends his Tory identity" and adopts a more libertarian perspective. [734] Boris Johnson has emerged as the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom after a leadership contest and could prove to be as divisive a figure in Britain as President Trump is in the United States. Johnson's friends were largely from the wealthy upper classes; his best friends being Darius Guppy and Charles Spencer, both of whom later accompanied him at the University of Oxford and remained friends into adulthood. [58] Johnson excelled in English and the Classics, winning prizes in both, [59] and became secretary of the school debating society [60] and editor of the school newspaper, The Eton College Chronicle. [61] In late 1981, he became a member of Pop, [62] a small, self-selecting elite and glamorous group of prefects. Later in Johnson's career it was a point of rivalry with David Cameron, who had failed to enter Pop. After leaving Eton, Johnson went on a gap year to Australia, where he taught English and Latin at Timbertop, an Outward Bound-inspired campus of Geelong Grammar, an independent boarding school.
