I have been watching an excellent series (of four) documentaries by the
BBCs Laura Kuenssberg about the machinations inside number 10 at the
time of Boris Johnson's premiership.

[Here's a YouTube link to one :
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afobZ2c27sA> ]

The word 'frenemy' was used to describe the plasticine faced Mr. Gove,
a one-time ally of Boris.

To recap:

- Gove ran the Brexit campaign alongside Boris in 2016 and supported his
lies. (accomplice)
- Gove back-stabbed Boris during his first attempt to become PM (post
Teresa May) thus foiling his chances
- Gove was re-hired to be a member of the inner cabinet after Boris'
eventual election as PM
- Gove walked away from the Boris government when it was collapsing,
pretending he had no part in Boris' machinations.

Is 'frenemy' an adequate word for such behaviour?

Juat think of it. This could open all kinds of doors.

We could have "Frenema" - a friendly enema, one that makes you smile,
empties your bowels and fills you with joy.

"Politician" seems quite adequate to me.
