The commission has a strong and independent membership. The so-called 'City of London's richest man' has now been appointed to the House of Lords by Mr Johnson, despite its Appointments Commission advising against the move. As we have just seen, its recommendations can be overridden by No 10. Two of Johnsons former deputy mayors from his City Hall days were made peers this year  Sir Edward Lister, recently appointed as Johnsons interim chief of staff after Dominic Cummingss departure, and Stephen Greenhalgh, who was directly appointed to the upper house to serve as a minister. The list includes three donors, four people who worked at the Telegraph with Johnson and four who worked with him at City Hall when he was mayor of London.
Mr. Johnson's old name was Jo something or Mayor of London.
