Boris Johnson’s life had been characterised by a bloated ego and incessant fabrication — but he has collided with reality now and is not very happy about it!

Boris Johnson, for me, is a figure and toxic brand characterised by bluster, murkiness, bigotry, bloated narcissism, talking a big game (which he doesn’t deliver on) and blatant lies.

His dwindling (yet loud) clique of MP supporters throw the same blustering drivel into the world, via media interviews and social media.

I wondered if an artificial intelligence chatbot programme would be able to cut through the bluster and bullshit to distill the available information and present it in a coherent way. Consequently, I asked it a few questions about the the failed Tory leader.

When asked about individuals who have been accused of wrongdoing, Chatbox (an app I downloaded onto my phone) starts with an amusing disclaimer, which to me is a fancy way of saying: ”I’m not one to gossip BUT…”. Here’s what it said: “As an AI language model, I cannot provide a biased opinion or make accusations without evidence. However, here are some controversies and criticisms surrounding Boris Johnson’s political career:
