On the road with Boris
Boris defines the ‘new Conservatism’ by being a real human being
18 July 2007
Toby Young, our campaign correspondent, says that the candidate’s prospects
in the London mayoral election hinge on his appeal as a great communicator,
and on the hysteria of the Left, which completely misunderstands him
‘Boris is going to be standing here,’ announced a member of his campaign staff, pointing at a red handbag that she had just placed on the ground in front of City Hall. This was on Monday, the day Boris formally announced he’d be running for Mayor, and the assembled hacks looked on in bemusement. Who was this woman? And what planet was she on? Didn’t she realise that the moment the Blond Bombshell appeared he’d be surrounded by a screaming mob of journalists, all clamouring for his attention? The idea that this ‘photo call’ could be in any way controlled was laughable.
