Then, there had been parties, and he had been aware of them, but he definitely did not attend any.

I was Boris Johnson’s boss: he is utterly unfit to be prime minister

I have argued for a decade that, while he is a brilliant entertainer who made a popular maítre d’ for London as its mayor, he is unfit for national office, because it seems he cares for no interest save his own fame and gratification. – Max Hastings, 2019
