Some say a second-class mind makes for a first-class leader, others that madness is an essential feature of the role. From Trump and Obama, to Blair and Boris Johnson, which personalities are born to rule? There is a story that often gets told about modern presidents and prime ministers, and sometimes gets told by them as well.

It feels as if true power is still somewhere out of reach. In politics you should never assume that there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It’s better to know how little is waiting for you, like a weird inversion of the parable of The Wizard of Oz. In place of the Yellow Brick Road is the greasy pole, which has to be ascended to reach the Emerald City. Yet the successful climber finds that his or her fate is not to encounter a shrunken wizard at the end of it. Instead it is to become that person: the impostor behind the curtain.

He’s a charmer, a wheedler, a flatterer, a bully Related: Dominic Cummings: master of the dark arts handed keys to No 10 Continue reading…
