adding the "commonly known as Boris the Betrayer" after the first line "Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson (born 19 June 1964)" i.e. the opening statement should be:

Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson (born 19 June 1964), commonly known as Boris the Betrayer ...

This name calling does not really get anyone anywhere. Boris' legacy will be the Ukraine war, he indicated it himself, saying once 'if I cannot help Ukraine, I do not want to be Prime Minister any more." Ukraine mattered to him more than the British people who elected him, it seems, and yes, that's a sort of betrayal. 2001:8003:A070:7F00:354C:446C:623D:E06C (talk) 03:42, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Johnson referred to the Roman statesman Cincinnatus. Some commentators noted that, while, as Johnson said, Cincinnatus returned to his plough, he was also later recalled to power"

[edit]

Do we still need to include this sentence? It clearly implies Johnson will also return to power, despite the chances of that happening being slim to none. ThingsCanOnlyGetWetter (talk) 08:43, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Error in paragraph 2

[edit]

Paragraph 2 says Boris Johnson was added to Michael Howard's shadow cabinet in 2001, but Michael Howard was not leader of the opposition at the time. Later in the article, it says Boris Johnson was added to the shadow cabinet in 2004 JDawg37 (talk) 15:48, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
