Love him or loathe him, this is how history will judge Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson has now been in office longer than Theresa May, but how will he be remembered in comparison? 

The Telegraph’s Gordon Rayner analyses the premierships of the two leaders, who have regularly clashed horns and barely concealed their contempt for one another. 

Whether you love him or hate him, Mr Johnson has undeniably left his mark on British politics, and he is likely to be remembered long after Mrs May’s premiership has faded from memory. 

While Mrs May spent most of her premiership failing to solve the Brexit conundrum, Mr Johnson has been the most colorful prime minister since Margaret Thatcher, with enough triumps and disasters to fill many volumes of memoirs.
