He's awful. No-one who's worked with him or for him likes him. He's cultivated this buffoonish persona / personal brand which people like - I used to quite like him - but which cracks under scrutiny. He was a terrible Mayor of London, wasted enormous amounts of public money, and went from an apparent remainer to supporting Brexit late in the day. (There's a bunch of people in that party who seem to have regarded EU membership or not as a game for advancement within the party/the government rather than something that has meaningful consequences for the world.)
I'd say he's someone who just wants to be In Power without much idea of what to do with it, but I rather suspect he does know what to do with it, which is to suck up to nastier richer people with more power by screwing over the rest of us.
