Alexander Boris De Pfeffel Johnson should be sent packing as soon as possible. If he’s allowed to stay on as a caretaker prime minister, he might not leave at all!
Boris is to politics what a magician is to hat-tricks! Magicians are able to pull rabbits out of hats before our very eyes by deft sleight of hand. De Pfeffel is equally skillful in politics. Before our very eyes, he could pull a fast one, maybe call a general election, and finesse his way into staying on as prime minister for several years to come, causing lots of uncertainty. Be warned!
Likeable, Boris may well be; but, often, so are rogues! In a funny kind of way, De Pfeffel is a likeable rogue with a touch of class.
One will never be sure BoJo has gone until he is well and truly out the door of Number 10! I concur with John Major on this, but perhaps for different reasons.
