IMAGE: Boris's political hero is Britain's World War II prime minister Winston Churchill on whom he has written a book.
Under constant attack from within his own Conservative party and the Opposition Labour party since the start of 2022, the war in Ukraine has come to Boris's rescue.
No one wants to eject a prime minister who has come to define the stern European opposition to Vladmir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

Among all the European countries who have opposed Putin's senseless war in Ukraine, the Kremlin has reserved its worst anger for Boris and Britain, even threatening at one point to strike at targets in the British isles unless No 10 scaled down its military support to Kyiv.
