I can't access it either without creating an account?

Always good to see things from all angles so I read newspapers from all over the world rather than the blinkered view you get by reading the news from one point of view.

It is possible to read the article but you have to be quick to block the popup asking you to subscribe.

I’ve always known exactly what he is.
It’s not as if he hides it.
Not for the first time on here, I highly recommend ‘The Assault on Truth’ by Peter Oborne.

The opinion piece is chillingly on the nail.

I managed to read it without subscribing.

I'm a little puzzled in why people wouldn't be interested in what is happening in the UK. An outsider's view is often more objective.

Does he even know?

I am a little puzzled in why you are interested in what New York thinks of Johnson! I did click on the link to see but it said to read it subscribe, which I wouldn’t do, as I read UK papers. Never thought to subscribe to an overseas one.

This is the opinion of one New York Times journalist:
