There was once a Boris who was against Brexit. Then Boris himself became Brexit. This was nothing new: Already in student politics at Oxford, Pfeffel Johnson’s Boris Alexander was known for his unabashed ability to switch parties when it suited him. It has continued to do so in many ways.
There was once a liberal and immigrant-friendly Boris. He was mayor of London and had a public fight with a certain Donald Trump. Then Boris himself became an ally of Donald Trump on the world stage – a politically tough prime minister who attacked public service and parliament in the name of culture warfare. A right-wing populist who wanted to lead a “people’s government” against London’s corrupt elites. And now it seems the moment of another Boris.
Headlines in the UK They were huge when it was announced on Friday that the controversial prime minister’s adviser, Dominic Cummings, would be leaving. This is the man who was the mastermind behind the 2016 Brexit campaign.
Boris Johnson is trying to accept the “macho culture” that has characterized his first ministry until now. A political style, personified by Cummings, in which you intimidate and threaten to “end Brexit.” Over time, this has destroyed Boris Johnson’s relationships with his own party, with the media, and with officials appointed to implement government policies.
Boris Johnson is also said to have lost interest in playing by the right-wing populist manual: waging a culture war against the BBC or trying to get the opposition to say liberal things about immigrants that can then be used to intimidate the white working class. And all this change in Boris Johnson also seems to have happened just in time for Joe Biden to win the American election.
Now it is said Johnson, according to Sky News sources, wanting to “focus on the issues that really concern you.” It appears to be about “the issue of the climate, the rights of women and girls, infrastructure and law enforcement.” But, let’s say gossip, are these really the issues Boris Johnson is concerned about? Aren’t these the questions that concern your 32-year-old environmental activist at Fästmö the most?
Carrie Symonds is the public relations woman who has been with Boris Johnson for two years. It is said that he has gained more and more political influence. Not least, he is said to have had enough of the macho culture around the prime minister. And now it must be aired.

Which Boris will we see next? Next year, the UK and Boris Johnson will host the UN’s premier COP26 climate conference. This is a “giant thing” for Boris Johnson, it’s called. And when he congratulated Joe Biden on winning the presidential election, he did so by bringing the issue of climate before security and trade as top priorities. Perhaps in other words, it’s a new “ambient Boris” on his way to the stage?
Whatever it is, it must Boris Johnson, first of all, solves it with Brexit. At the time of writing this report, no agreement has been reached between the UK and the EU. Thus, the country thunders against a hard Brexit on January 1.
On Friday, some observers expected British Brexit negotiator David Frost to step down in protest of Boris Johnson’s purges of hardline Brexit. But it has not. Brexit negotiations will continue as before. Although Boris Johnson may be different.
