Mark the Week: Boris Johnson achieves a 'childhood dream'

Every Friday morning, Mike Hosking takes you through the big ticket items of the week and lets you know what he makes of it all. 

Boris Johnson. 

9/10.

"To dream from childhood of leading your country, and for that to come true is what life is really all about." 

Theresa May. 

3/10.

"She was full of dignity until the end but she was hopelessly outmanoeuvred, hopelessly indecisive, and ultimately forgettable." 

The Silver Ferns World Cup Triumph. 

9/10.

"Even if there is no prize money, it'll win the Halberg.

It’s the greatest sports story of the year so far." 

The Prize Money. 

5/10. 

"It looks a bit tacky, tawdry, and gerrymandered. 

It looks like the corporates have been embarrassed into a whip round." 

The Gun Register. 

4/10.

"Not so much for the policy, but the fact the government didn’t know the policy, again.

Foreigners and licences, guns with loopholes, and the percent of crime with guns involved. 

If the people writing the law don’t know it, how can it be good law?"

The Macy's Fat Plate. 

7/10.

"If you don’t know what I'm talking about look it up, because it's funny. 

Except for those who are upset, but those who are upset are upset about everything. 

Another sad sign of the times." 

The All Blacks. 

8/10.

"Beat Argentina with a cobbled together XV, given the Crusaders.

This week will be a good comprehensive lesson in what the Springboks are in for in Japan." 

The Warriors. 

7/10.

"Still winning, still in it. 

And this week the rag tag Paramatta. Well they're not really rag tag, but I like to talk prospects up."
