Will UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s divide and rule strategy really work?

Three weeks have now passed since Boris Johnson became the UK’s prime minister. What have we learned so far?

Johnson thinks Africa can benefit from adopting more British values. He wants it to be a carbon copy of its former colonial masters.

Johnson has claimed that he can unite the country under his leadership. That seems a practical impossibility.

Europe and the EU have undergone great changes in recent times. Here are five winners and five losers.

Boris Johnson would face a specific handicap in his talks with Brussels. The desire to grant him any concession is virtually zero.

Will Boris Johnson really be a Robespierre, as the ardent Brexiteers hope — or convert himself into rational Monsieur Talleyrand?

Even in case of a hard Brexit, the UK would probably end up having to accept most of the Withdrawal Agreement.

While he did not endear himself to his continental colleagues during his stint as foreign minister, Boris Johnson’s flexibility could turn into an advantage.

Many on the continent may now see an orderly “velvet” Brexit as the least bad among the realistic outcomes.
