Labour has asked Mr Johnson to prove he has followed the rules for former ministers – saying he had “questions to answer” about taking on lucrative speaking gigs. Leading security expert Prof Antony Glees told The Independent Mr Johnson had presided over “a culture of laxness when it comes to national security”, calling for a judicial inquiry. Mr Johnson cut short a holiday Dominican Republic to launch a failed bid to take on Rishi Sunak in another Tory leadership contest – saying it was not the right time, despite claiming there was a “very good chance” he could have won. A picture of Mr Johnson and Mr Cheney appears on the International Symposium on Blockchain Advancements conference website with a description of the conference as a “new interoperability dimension coupling DeFi and CeFi”.
