He is bursting with energy and utterly focused. Just look at the discipline of his leadership campaign. It looks like he might manage to pull off a GE win (after 9 years of austere Tory Govt) that would objectively be a hell of an achievement. If he delivers Brexit then he will be the most consequential PM since Thatcher. If you add to that two times winner of the London mayoralty, the man who won the Brexit referendum, then you have the most successful electoral track record since Blair (at least).
That's not a bad record so far - even if he does blow up at some point in the future. (But don't count on it.)
