ANALYSIS: Opportunist, chameleon, showman or charlatan: what will Boris Johnson do next?
But Johnson's crash-or-crash-through mentality must end. Because instead of looking to the next week, day or hour of political survival, he will lead the government of the United Kingdom for the next five years.
Johnson thrives on crisis and controversy, so it will be a big adjustment to focus on the bits and pieces of governing. He has never been one for fine detail.
