Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is going to work for GB News, a right-wing channel.
He'll be a paid presenter, just like Jacob Rees-Mogg and Nigel Farage.
This former UK Prime Minister will have a big role in the channel's coverage of the UK general election and the US elections next year.
While we don't know his exact salary, it's likely a hefty six-figure sum.
For context, Jacob Rees-Mogg gets £350,000 a year, and Lee Anderson gets £100,000 annually from GB News.
GB News is co-owned by Sir Paul Marshall, a hedge fund manager, and Legatum, a Dubai-based investment firm.
There's talk that Marshall might want to buy the Daily Telegraph, a paper where Boris Johnson used to work.
The channel has faced challenges recently.
It suspended presenters Dan Wootton and Laurence Fox.
Fox made some controversial comments, and Wootton didn't question him about it. GB News has also avoided looking into allegations that Wootton sent explicit messages to former colleagues using a fake name.
Apart from GB News, Boris Johnson is already a well-paid columnist for the Daily Mail.
He's also been making lots of money as a public speaker since leaving 10 Downing Street over a year ago.
In a video message on GB News's social media, Boris Johnson said he's excited about joining the channel. He plans to share his unfiltered views on various topics.
GB News has been in the spotlight for hiring well-known right-wing political figures like Farage, Rees-Mogg, and Anderson. It also employs married Tory MPs Philip Davies and Esther McVey.
Boris Johnson's new job at GB News was approved by the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (Acoba).
They don't have any specific concerns about it. They did tell him off previously for not checking with them before taking the job at the Daily Mail.
