Turn again, Johnson - back to the Telegraph?

Will London mayor Boris Johnson part ways with the Daily Telegraph? Johnson's last column for the Telegraph appeared on January 10 when he told readers he was off electioneering. "Yes, after 20 years of happy and uninterrupted conversation with Telegraph readers, I am laying down my pen and - to switch from the Everest metaphor - taking up the sword full time. In four months I will have either succeeded in winkling King Newt from his lair, or I will have failed." Well Boris, you succeeded. But are you giving up the pen permanently? In his final column Boris presaged a return to journalism whatever happened: "I will return with my shield, or on it." But Monkey understands his future with the paper is undecided and Telegraph management are trying to arrange a meeting with BoJo to sort things out.
