After talk that the foreign secretary might be kept away from the election campaign with busywork on North Korea and Russia, Boris Johnson is back, with a speech about selling haggis to the US and a column in the Sun about “mutton-headed old mugwump” Jeremy Corbyn. Johnson is, of course, also an Islingtonian, but a carnivorous one, and so definitely not a hypocrite. Labour has selected its successors for outgoing Alan Johnson and Michael Dugher: Emma Hardy will stand in Hull West and Hessle; Steph Peacock in Barnsley East. Facebook Twitter Pinterest Caroline Lucas: yes, Boris Johnson, another vegetarian. DiaryExpect to see more of Boris Johnson in a round of interviews this morning.
