Brexit Diary: As BoJo Waffles, Tory Dinosaurs Turn on His Fiancée By STEPHEN MacLEAN, https://www.nysun.com/foreign/brexit-diary-as-bojo-waffles-on-policy-critics/91429/ Not since the days of Benjamin Disraeli has a prime ministers wife been cause for such conversation as has Prime Minister Boris Johnsons fiancée. Is Carrie Symonds really a Downing Street manipulator or a shrewd supportive partner? asks the headline in the Times, though the Mirror suggests merely that she has become the prime ministerial hair-dresser who finally tamed the PMs unruly mop. I offer the comparison to Mary Anne Disraeli because Dizzys wife was quite the story in her day. In her case it was more bemusement as with, say, Denis Thatcher, husband to Margaret than hostility. Dizzy declared of his own wife, She is an excellent creature, with one of his few complaints being that she never can remember which came first, the Greeks or the Romans.
