Boris Johnson's political split personality was evident on the flight to the G7 summit
"Are you getting used to being prime minister?" one reporter asked before heading back to their seat."Yes!" Johnson replied."At last. It took a while."Fellow G7 leaders seeking to get a handle on what kind of British prime minister they are dealing with could still leave the summit perplexed.
The split personality was on display on RAF Voyager. He spoke of his horror at the Amazon fires and listed biodiversity, free trade and girls' education as his three key summit priorities. But in the same breath he lavished praise on the U.S. president. Asked if he was flattered by comparisons to Trump, he noted that it was"the most important thing for any prime minister of the U.K. ... to have a very close, friendly relationship with our most important ally."
Asked about his relations with Tusk, and the European Council president’s comment that those who promoted Brexit without a plan had a “special place in hell”, Johnson joked with reporters that he didn't want to get into"post-Brexit eschatology with the president of the Council.”
