Philip Collins (The Public Square, 26 February) sees astutely beyond the old debates about Boris Johnson. Johnson, like his hero Disraeli, is a career politician with a ravenous hunger for climbing the tiered cake-stand of public life. This Prime Minister is not an ideologue on a mission like Thatcher or Corbyn. Instead, like a late-Victorian Conservative, Johnson sees himself as playing the “great parliamentary game”. The point of this game is to win and keep office. Johnson constantly reinvents himself and his policies to make sure that he does. Johnson is already the greatest vote-winning British politician of the 21st century. He is also a destroyer of opponents’ careers, his Boris bike festooned with the scalps of Ken Livingstone (his red twin), Cameron (his distant cousin), May and Corbyn.
