Boris Johnson: History Man (Arcuri, Greensill, No.10 Flat..)
According to the ever reliable cipher of Tory government thought Laura Kuenssberg:
Another day, another denial. Another 24 hours when rather than making their arguments, the government is embroiled in arguments about the past.
Indeed very annoying. Boris Johnson constantly wants to ‘move on’.
He is however a history man from former Mayor of London John Wilkes to Winston Churchill he has churned out what might pass for history books and he is keen on glorious British history including slavery and the bloody imperial conquests.
What Johnson is less keen on is a history of the present:
The money that he gave to his former special friend Jennifer Arcuri
The financial special favours that Dave Cameron was trying to get out of Johnson’s Government in 2020 for Lex Greensill
The question of who paid for the refurbishment of the flat at 10 Downing St.
On none of these questions is there yet clarity. However no doubt as a history man Johnson will be keen to ensure that full details are gathered (and then kept secret for 30 years probably…)
