Britain's new PM hates to be hated and is intensely sensitive to criticism
biography of Winston Churchill, the author deals with a number of accusations against his subject, including the charge “that he didn’t really have real friends—only people he ‘used’ for his own advancement.” This line, like many in the book, could have been written as easily about the author as about his subject; and the charge would be hard to rebut.
Mr Johnson will not necessarily be able to lean on his birth family, either. He comes from a clever, pushy clan of journalists and politicians. “We’re like rats, basically,” wrote his sister Rachel, a newspaper columnist. “In London, you’re never more than a few feet from at least two Johnsons.” The siblings are fiercely loyal to each other, but also, Boris aside, fiercely pro-European.
But although Mr Johnson puts less work than most people do into winning affection and approbation, he craves these things more than most people—even most politicians—do. He is intensely sensitive to criticism.
