Boris Johnson was interviewed for GQ Magazine by Piers “Sleaze Monkey” Morgan and Iain Dale has posted an exceprt.

Can you imagine Boris Johnson as Prime Minister?  Yes!  Politicians take themselves and politics far too seriously sometimes – Boris would be a breath of fresh air and amazingly popular Prime Minister.  He’s a walking diplomatic incident but how can anyone genuinely take offence at anything he says?  The fact that he’s a bumbling idiot is irrelevant – the United States is (any I use the term very loosely here) lead by a man who signs his name with a wax crayon and whose grip on reality is so tenuous that he once declared “I believe the human beings and fish can coexist peacefully”.  So Boris has had to apologise to not only individual people but an entire city (Liverpool) and a country (Papua New Guinea) – so what?

This is just absolutely priceless:

Piers: I don’t really buy this buffoon thing.  I think you play it up all to make money and charm the public, when underneath it all lurks a calculating, ambitious and very serious brain.

Boris: That’s very kind of you but you must consider the possibility that underneath it all there really may lurk a genuine buffoon.
 

Brilliant!  Love you Boris.
