Boris Johnson's dad to run for MEP post
By EUobserver
British Brexiter MP Boris Johnson's father, the 78-year old Stanley Johnson, a Remainer, is to run for an MEP seat in the European Parliament elections in May. "The idea that we should be talking down these Euro elections is absurd," he told the LBC radio broadcaster Wednesday, amid concern that if his son were to become the next British prime minister, he might cause trouble in the ongoing Brexit process.
