Boris Johnson: 'It's not a job. It's a zero hours contract role'

Boris Johnson has claimed his new political cabinet position is a role not a job, while comparing it to a zero hours contract.

The Mayor of London was yesterday appointed as a member of David Cameron’s political cabinet as part of the Prime Minister’s post election ministerial reshuffle.

Johnson said: “It is a zero hours contract. It is definitely not a job. I have accepted a role that Miliband wanted to ban.”
