I think that depends on how you define work/graft.

He has great energy and clearly finds writing and speaking easy, especially if he not constrained by effort required to check the facts ( opinion based columns ).

I suspect he is also very competitive under the bonhomie.

He didn't get a first at Oxford, while Cameron did - he recently called Cameron a 'girly swot'. Suggests he didn't work as hard as he could have and still hasn't quite got over it.

I suspect for the stuff he doesn't want to do, or doesn't find comes naturally, the real hard graft, he isn't so great.

He has often had multiple jobs, as well as multiple private lives - so great energy, but that's not the same as being able to really graft.

So I'd agree he is not lazy, by any means.

However, would you trust him with a really important task, a task that needed someones undivided attention to succeed?

Like Brexit or being Primer Minister? - I'm not sure he will do the job to his best ability - never quite the focus to be first class.
