The prime minister’s behaviour is increasingly bizarre, but that’s nothing new – his traits always get worse when he is cornered
‘Genuinely frightened’ – Boris Johnson is running out of options.Bdespite mounting fury at his mendacious and lawbreaking conduct gave us a rare insight into his tortured mind. The bags under his eyes, the ever-expanding middle, the sweaty goosey pink skin all bear testimony to a man who is increasingly uncomfortable with himself and his legacy.
Since then, he has become genuinely frightened of the chaos, division, unhappiness and potential for much worse that he has unleashed – consult, for instance, for when he confessed to her that the fear stopped him from sleeping at night. Imagine how he feels now that the scandals keep coming in, fully knowing there are many more, potentially even worse, to come out. Now the economy is tanking, the health service is in crisis, and the country gripped by strikes and the slogans are falling flat. He has no clue what to do next. He never gave much thought to being prime minister and virtually none at all to the afterwards except the idea of getting very rich.
Yet whether it is voters, MPs, staff or even wives and mistresses who demand that that he change – or rather improve – he will not and cannot do so. He is a leopard who won’t change his spots because he does not have other ones. Decades of indulgence, exceptionalism, and lack of consequence have programmed him to behave in a selfish and reckless way. It has, after all, done him very well, propelling him to the highest elected office in the land. He has never thought about much else.
