Boris is brilliant – but he’s not a PM

I have been an active Conservative Party member for more than 40 years, and I bow to no one in my admiration of Boris Johnson’s talents as a learned classicist, entertaining journalist, political campaigner, Mayor of London and outstanding ‘character’ amid the sea of identikit politicians who dominate Westminster. However, Boris, pictured, is most definitely NOT prime ministerial material.

Nor is it likely that his policies would be notably different from those of David Cameron and his cohort of ‘modernisers’.

Notwithstanding his recent speech on Britain’s prospects outside the EU, there can be little doubt that, at heart, Boris is no more ‘Eurosceptic’ than the Prime Minister.
