Abstract

Who exactly is Boris Johnson? How is he best summed up as a political personality? Bumbling Boris, Biking Boris or Boris the ‘Brexit Beast’? Does he even have any defined and consistent political beliefs? Or are all these different, and carefully contrived, manifestations simply a convenient set of disguises for a ruthless personality driven solely by the desire to secure, and now attempt to keep, by a risky high-wire act, the post of Prime Minister? The timing of the talk means that, whilst maintaining a narrative format, it will, per force, adjust to or even be radically altered by a very fluid political environment.
