Johnson gives Owen job at his green consultancy firm

Charlotte Owen, now Baroness Owen of Alderley Edge after entering the House of Lords at the age of 30, has been appointed vice-president of the company Better Earth. Her elevation to the Upper House in Mr Johnson’s controversial honours list two years ago attracted significant scrutiny just six years after she started working in politics and following a brief stint as his aide.

News of her latest role – which is paid – emerged in a two-line entry in her Lords register of interests in the last month. Her salary was not disclosed. The website for Better Earth, which is not fully operational but promises “full site coming soon”, describes itself as an “internationally facing company that seeks to contribute to global decarbonisation”.

It promises “internationally renowned and leading climate figures” who will offer strategic thinking and investment support. Lady Owen does not have a background in environmental work.
