Boris Johnson's UK tour: did he show he could save the union?

PM set out to prove his pledge to the 'awesome foursome' but not everything went to plan

Boris Johnson pledged his commitment to the "awesome foursome" of the UK when he was elected Conservative leader, and has since embarked on a whistlestop tour taking in the north of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. But how successful were the trips? Visits that involved keeping the prime minister away from booing protesters and, in some cases, journalists? Have they allayed fears that Johnson's hardline Brexit strategy and the continuation of the union could be mutually exclusive?
