The comparison is flattering to both but I picture the final showdown between Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak last October as that stunning scene in Heat when Robert De Niro and Al Pacino face each other across a table in a diner.
One’s a cop. The other an armed robber and serial murderer. They get on well but neither forgets his role: “If I’m there and I’ve got to put you away, I won’t like it … but brother you’re going down.” De Niro explains the flip side: “You won’t get in my way. I will not hesitate. Not for a second”.
