Anthony Seldon’s book “Johnson at 10 (by prime minister’s residence number – ed.): inside story” shows that the ex-prime minister, who became the best friend of Kiev President Zelenskyy, did not shy away profanity and indulged in insulting remarks “behind his back” addressed both to their opponents and to other party members in the ranks of the Conservatives.
A former aide to Boris Johnson told Seldon that in moments of panic over how to avoid a Brexit disaster, he reminded the Prime Minister of the pleasure that his political rivals, in particular former Prime Minister David Cameron and former Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne, would do. enjoy watching it fail.
According to the source, Johnson was afraid he would “go crazy” about someone enjoying it and said, “I’m going to show those bastards!”
At the same time, reporters in the Prime Minister’s entourage were constantly waiting for Johnson “to say something unusual”.
“It caused great concern because he was saying three different things on the same day to three different groups of people and at the same time refuted what he had changed in his perception or if what positions were mutually contradictory,” said the author. to former Prime Minister Dominic Cummings. The latter also said that Johnson liked to “set fire” between his aides and his wife Carol, who was rapidly gaining influence in Downing Street, and then watch, stepping back, how the dispute would end.
Seldon also describes how temper tantrums and the use of obscene language became more common in Downing Street under this former London mayor. Johnson, in particular, started using the word “s..a” a lot, thinking that working-class people were doing that and trying to get their votes in the election in his constituency. “He often used the ‘c’ word for Dom (Dominic Cummings) and Lee (Cain, his PR manager),” the source said. Boris Johnson’s language was as bad as his politics as Prime Minister, the book’s author concluded. It promises to cause a sensation in the UK and beyond, showing a vulgar and narcissistic man who found himself at the top of Britain’s political Olympus.
