Boris Johnson under wraps during Conservative leadership contest

ABC  

Boris Johnson is charging towards Downing Street in a campaign based on saying nothing — and it's working. Key points: Australian spin doctor Lynton Crosby, known as the "Wizard of Oz" is believed to be advising Boris Johnson's campaign Mr Johnson infuriated his No 10 rivals by refusing to take part in a live television debate He has a history of making gaffes, including comparing Muslim women who wear veils as "letter boxes" Dubbed the 'submarine' strategy, the Conservative leadership is Mr Johnson's to lose, so remaining under the radar is a safety net. It has been said that Mr Johnson has been dreaming of becoming PM since a young age, and it was Sir Lynton that helped coordinate his failed run during the 2016 Conservative leadership race, where Boris-backer and current leadership rival Michael Gove backflipped and instead decided to run himself. "I'm not sure it is going to do Boris too much damage not being involved," Mr Downer, who was also Australia's High Commissioner to the UK, told the ABC. Mr Johnson has a long history of gaffes including comparing Muslim women who wear veils as "letter boxes" in a 2018 newspaper column, and labelling Papua New Guineans as "cannibals" in the same newspaper in 2006.
