When he was a little boy, Boris Johnson told his siblings he wanted to be king of the world.

As Johnson grew up (did he grow up?) his childish, fantastical ambitions didn’t change.

He wanted to be a rock star, an international composer, a world-famous painter, oh and yes, a Prime Minister.

Being Prime Minister would be “a great thing to have a crack at” Johnson told a BBC documentary in 2013

That is, “if the ball came loose from the back of a scrum.”

These are all Johnson fantasies. He wanted fame and glory for him.

Not to serve, as one hopes should be the overriding aim of a Prime Minister, but to serve himself.

Instead of being a rock star, Johnson has led Britain to rock bottom.

He has imposed on the country an unworkable and entirely flawed Brexit.

He said it was oven-ready, but, in reality, it was just another figment of his fantasies.

He has dreams of building a new ship of state, costing taxpayers at least £200 million.

With our money, he has acquired not one, but two, ‘Brexit jets’ painted in the colours of the Union Jack for him to fly around in.

The country should have learnt from the hugely expensive flops that Johnson indulged in when he was Mayor of London.

For example, the failed Garden Bridge project, that cost £53 million … all for nothing.

If Boris Johnson’s reign as Prime Minister is not stopped, he is likely to bankrupt Britain with his catastrophically costly ‘castles in the air’.

Not only that. But Johnson’s constant need to be popular means a continuous flow of populist proposals, that are on course to destroy everything that used to be the hallmarks of Britain.

Human rights? The NHS? The BBC? They are going to be lost, or diminished, all because of Johnson’s delusions.

Not only is Johnson a nasty fantasist, but he has no moral compass. He will attempt to lie his way out of any problem, obstacle, obstruction, or criticism.

(For example, his lies about Partygate - for which he should have resigned by now).

Today, Mr Johnson addressed the Ukrainian Parliament by video link, described as a Churchillian speech, and offering further military aid to Ukraine worth £300 million.

No doubt he'll feel popular for doing that, and maybe that's the real reason he's doing it.

But as for helping significant numbers of Ukrainian refugees, or any refugees, Mr Johnson isn't interested.

Neither is he interested in the plight of millions of Britons who are struggling from the worst cost-of-living crisis in decades,

Mr Johnson the fantasist, and his Tory government, are a danger to Britain. Please remember that when voting on Thursday.
