    After a day hanging out with David Cameron, Boris Johnson has got as close as he has ever got to saying he’ll run for leader one day.

    He told Sky News: “It is at least 5 years away which is an eon in British politics, by which time whatever my personal ambitions may be there will be thrusting young men and women who will be overtaking me and who knows, it will all be different.

    “In the dim, distant future, obviously it would be a wonderful thing to be thought to be in a position to be considered for such an honour but I think it highly unlikely.”
