Boris Johnson to write book about Sir Winston Churchill

Boris is to write a book about Winston Churchill. As Boris puts it in a cantering press release:

‘The point of the ‘‘Churchill Factor’’ is that one man can make all the difference.’

The point of the ‘Boris Factor’ is that only one man has the spunk to invite comparison between himself and Churchill. David Cameron is, evidently, self-assured; but he would not take such a risk. Confidence is Boris’ gift; over-confidence his enemy.

BoJo and Sir Winston are, to an extent, kindred spirits: witty and determined, and chancers both.
