Boris's tragic flaw

The Greek tragedy of Boris Johnson's premiership starts with the decision of his second wife Marina Wheeler to leave him to the present Mrs J. From that flowed the departure of Cummings and all the rest. But it is more a Feydeau farce than Oedipus Rex.

    Can someone with a perpetual grin and deliberately mussed hair have a flaw that is tragic?

    Excellent question. Clowns can be tragic.

    If only Marina hadn't left Boris, Cummings would have run the country reasonably.
