If he has any sense he will call it a day sooner rather than later...I don't believe history will treat his bid for "King Boris", kindly!

Yes I suspect Boris as King "seemed like a good idea at the time"!

Perhaps to join the short but illustrious group of great British prime ministers.
The top three of which (from different parties) are generally accepted to be:-
Lloyd George; Attlee; Churchill

Randomly just watched a YouTube vid from 2015. It features Boris Johnson in a light hearted, funny and fascinating debate with Mary Beard, hosted by Andrew Marr on "Rome Vs Greece".
Boris shows a learned classicist with a happy, rapier wit. A genuine joy for life. Now look at him...
Can't be money as he moans about trying to get by on a PM salary...
So why does he bother? Put your feet up. Do some columns, panel shows, write the odd novel.
