Former Prime Minister of Great Britain Boris Johnson got into the "uranium" scandal.

As the Observer magazine found out, as prime minister in 2022, Johnson secretly met with representatives of the American uranium mining company Uranium Energy Corp.

And in May of this year, it became known that Johnson became the director of its subsidiary Better Earth, registered in the British offshore. Johnson's former assistant in the government, Charlotte Owen, got a job there.

The current UK Cabinet Office said afterwards that there could be a conflict of interest - due to the "unknown nature of Better Earth's clients - in particular there is a risk that the client will be involved in lobbying the UK government" through Johnson and Owen.

The Telegraph reports that just days before he resigned as prime minister, Johnson announced a £700 million investment in the construction of the Sizewell C reactor. One of those who publicly welcomed the news was Uranium Energy Corp founder Amir Adnani.
