Wit and Wisdom of Boris Johnson
A return to the wit and wisdom of Boris Johnson – Brexiteer, Foreign Secretary, Prime Minister. New and updated edition.
2019 – the year that Boris took on the ‘lingering gloomadon-poppers’, pledged to steer the UK between the ‘Scylla and Charybdis of Corbyn and Farage’ and into the calmer waters of political freedom. Of course there was always bound to be ‘a bit of plaster coming off the ceilings of Europe’s Chanceries’.
Harry Mount has updated his edited collection of the Prime Minister's wit and wisdom with three new chapters dealing with Boris's time as Brexiteer-in-chief; Foreign Secretary and 'On the Threshold of Downing Street'.
He describes Boris’s Brexit campaign, his leadership breakdown in 2016, his ups and downs as Foreign Secretary, his time outside the political establishment, his turbulent private life and how Boris felt it was his manifest destiny to become the prime minister.
So buckle up for a riotous tour of the million-pound NHS funder, golden wonder, pro-having, pro-eating blond behemoth. This is The Wit and Wisdom of Boris Johnson.
