Boris Johnson failed to disclose that he met a uranium lobbyist while prime minister before entering into a new business with a controversial Iranian-Canadian uranium entrepreneur, the Observer can reveal.

Johnson’s new company Better Earth Limited also employs Charlotte Owen, a junior aide with just a few years work experience whom he elevated to the House of Lords last year at the age of 29, sparking intense controversy.

Transparency campaigners say there appear to be “serious public interest questions to be answered” over the nature and timeline of Johnson’s relationship with his co-director, Amir Adnani, the founder, president and CEO of Uranium Energy Corp, a US-based mining and exploration company, championed by former Trump advisor Steve Bannon.

    Boris Johnson, second only to Donald Trump, for the insipid dumbfuckery they both exhibit in excruciating detail.

    Too bad they couldn’t be the ones stuck on a space station for a few decades.

      The sooner the pair of them get fucked off to a prison cell, the better. Then we won’t have to keep seeing their nasty little pudgy faces any more.
