I do find it hard to imagine how or why anybody would want to have Boris as their leader, and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he got up to no good while he was mayor, and probably still is. But there's not much time to prove it, is there? And we have the example of Israel, where a prime minister charged with corruption is still vying to be leader, so moral compasses seem to be short order everywhere.
