The former Conservative prime minister will appear at the Usher Hall on 2 September for an event titled An Evening with Boris Johnson, which will also allow guests to take part in a question and answer session.
The Usher Hall event page praises Johnson for taking the Conservative party “to an extraordinary election victory”, heading a government that “shattered the political and parliamentary deadlock over Brexit” and leading the UK “through the darkest days of the pandemic”.
Last week, the former prime minister’s allies told the Telegraph he was considering a political comeback, as they thought he was growing “bored” away from Westminster and believed there was “unfinished business”.
Johnson has held calls with the US president, Donald Trump, since he won the presidency, it was reported, and still talks to the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Last week, Zelenskyy, in an interview with the Guardian, rubbished claims that Johnson talked him out of a possible peace deal between Ukraine and Russia in spring 2022.
