Don’t go wobbly on us Boris.

Sounds pretty mealy-mouth to me.

The nest British Prime Minister I predict.

And the one after that will be Sadiq Khan.

The UK is sitting on a huge opportunity to redo their economy. Slash regulations,etc... I am afraid though it won’t happen. Don’t see the leadership.

Boris needs to bring the other 48% along to be able to lead.

Boris, like The Donald, recognizes the value of branding. According to Wikipedia,

Biographer Sonia Purnell described his public persona as "brand Boris", noting that he developed it while at Oxford University.[352] Max Hastings referred to this public image as a "façade resembling that of P.G. Wodehouse's Gussie Fink-Nottle, allied to wit, charm, brilliance and startling flashes of instability",[353] while political scientist Andrew Crines stated that Johnson had created "the character of a likable and trustworthy individual with strong intellectual capital".[354] Johnson purposely cultivates a "semi-shambolic look",[355] for instance by specifically ruffling his hair in a certain way for when he makes public appearances.[356] Purnell described him as "a manic self-promoter" who filled his life with "fun and jokes".[357] Described by Crines as "a joker",[354] Johnson has stated that "humour is a utensil that you can use to sugar the pill and to get important points across."[357]

Different years, of course; but Boris and Donald's birthdays are three days apart.
