And so Boris' campaign for leadership begins in earnest.

Whatever it is that we 'save' on EU 'subs' the NHS could happily swallow all of it and still want more. That's the reality.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Rather than rousing diatribes in the Telegraph perhaps Boris can point us to his manifest achievements in his current position. Given it's so obvious that the UK will thrive he could also pursue the release of the impact assessment of leaving the EEA on over 50 sectors of the UK economy that has been done by DExEU. When he's done with that releasing the Treasury's analysis of economic benefits of future FTAs outside the EU would be good. It's not like either of these undermine our negotiating position. The EU is apparently a massive bureaucracy so no doubt will have conducted its own analyses. They will, however, better inform the people, although I'm not convinced the public being well-informed is desirable to either Johnson or Rees-Mogg. Pretty depressing when a couple of populist lightweights, born into the upper class, both happy to deal with the great political issue of our time through misdirection at best and blatant lies at worst are the front-runners for Prime Minister. On the up side, however, perhaps those on the left that've bought into Jeremy Corbyn's view of a socialist paradise outside of the neo-liberal grasp of the EU might be woken up by both Johnson and Rees-Mogg's enthusiasm for tax cuts and deregulation. Then again, pigs might fly. People on both extremes on these issues and the political spectrum are absurdly emotionally invested to the total exclusion of facts and evidence. ---------- Post added at 13:10 ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 ---------- A reasonable dissection of some of Boris' nonsense is here. There are an awful lot of things the EU could be criticised for. In his usual fashion of not bothering to do his homework and waffling to conceal his laziness and lack of interest in details and, well, facts, Boris elects to re-run the referendum campaign with many of the same falsehoods. |

Mogg, has already ruled himself out and I think may have purposely ruled himself out by putting it out there about his staunch catholic beliefs on abortion and gay marriage.

The Chair of the UK Statistics Authority took a moment to remind Boris Johnson that the figure he loves to quote is, as he well knows, misrepresenting official statistics at best.
