The opinions of some well-known English people on Boris Johnson.
“He’s lied his way through life, he’s lied his way through politics, he’s a huckster with a degree of charm to which I am immune. As well as being mendacious he’s incompetent.”
Conservative former minister Chris Patten
“Johnson is a man who waits to see the way the crowd is running and then dashes in front and says, ‘Follow me’.”
Former Conservative government minister Michael Heseltine.
“He’s an enormous character but not a team player… And he doesn’t know if he’s a journalist or a politician, but he does know it’s all about him. The more he repeats what everyone can see is not credible, the more his own credibility disappears.”
Former foreign office colleague Sir Alan Duncan.
“I’m afraid he’s shown, especially during his period as foreign secretary, that he doesn’t have the necessary skills and capacity to be leader.”
Former Conservative MP and former attorney general Dominic Grieve.
