The presenter on LBC said something interesting last. He was previously Theresa May's speech writer, so has a lot of experience of No 10. He said that at the time Johnson became prime minister, he was talking to someone at No 10. That person said that Boris probably wanted to have been Prime Minister without all the effort involved actually being Prime Minister.

In short, he wanted it on his record that he had been Prime Minister. Presumably because that opens up potentially a lot of lucrative avenues.
