Comment: The first three sources may be useful if expanding/updating the Political positions and ideology section. The latter two are fairly balanced profiles on Johnson from 2021 examining his public profile and popularity

adding the "commonly known as Boris the Betrayer" after the first line "Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson (born 19 June 1964)" i.e. the opening statement should be:
Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson (born 19 June 1964), commonly known as Boris the Betrayer ...
This name calling does not really get anyone anywhere. Boris' legacy will be the Ukraine war, he indicated it himself, saying once 'if I cannot help Ukraine, I do not want to be Prime Minister any more." Ukraine mattered to him more than the British people who elected him, it seems, and yes, that's a sort of betrayal. 2001:8003:A070:7F00:354C:446C:623D:E06C (talk) 03:42, 22 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Paragraph 2 says Boris Johnson was added to Michael Howard's shadow cabinet in 2001, but Michael Howard was not leader of the opposition at the time. Later in the article, it says Boris Johnson was added to the shadow cabinet in 2004JDawg37 (talk) 15:48, 2 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

In the last few days before her death, the late Queen is now reported to have said of Boris Johnson, who had been replaced by Liz Truss as Prime Minister: "Well at least I won't have that idiot organising my funeral now." This is reported in The Times by Tim Shipman: [1]. Does protocol dictate that this should not be included in this article, even though the Queen is now deceased?
