  Johnson is to Churchill as Dairylea is to Stinking Bishop.

  I find Boris is ok if he's on script
  But often he will ramble this is when he looks bad , as he's not very good under scrutiny

  Fixed it for Johnson: 'Pleased to see the removal of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s ankle tag. Some say her continued confinement should be an embarrassment to me as my comic turn as Foreign Secretary helped to bring it about. But as I have no shame, I say she must be released permanently so she can return to the UK and remain in confinement here with the rest of the population.'

  Johnson goes for W.H. Auden look, fails.
  
  Auden: carven lived-in face, 'I've seen things you people wouldn't believe' eyes, confident mouth, regretful not to have done more but content to go.
  
  Johnson: flaccid dried out face, fugitive eyes, anxious mouth, on the run but about to be found out.
  
  

  

  
  'Base words are uttered only by the base
  And can for such at once be understood;
  But noble platitudes - ah, there's a case
  Where the most careful scrutiny is needed
  To tell a voice that's genuinely good
  From one that's base but merely has succeeded.'

  Assuming today's Sunday Express has it right (yeah, okay, so that's a longshot), the Conservatives are right in the do-do:

  If lawbreaker Trump can get the people to vote for him I guess rule breaker Johnson could do the same.

  Indeed, the Conservative Party must be saved.
  
  Just as Nabokov saved his butterflies.
