Boris Johnson is just like Churchill, but Churchill the Gallipoli campaign not the Battle of Britain.

[andrewducker]

Not a good look!

"How fast can Johnson get up to speed?" may be the next question.

[danieldwilliam]

How willing is Johnson to do the work needed to get up to speed?

[dewline]

It's all medals, knighthoods and statues afterwards *after* you win.

But you have to win - there are no statues to Mussolini.

And winning is hard, hard work and uncertain and not amenable to spin.
