Personal view is not the Government view but at what point do we consider the idea Boris isn't a genius behind an eccentric front but actually just quite eccentric.....
It didn't come as a surprise to me. I think he came down at the last minute in favour of Brexit as it would further his career, in contrast to people like Farage and Gove who are passionate Leavers.
Like a lot of people in the UK, he was probably not totally convinced of the arguments either way but he made a rationale choice. I don't think it makes him a genius or eccentric, just a politician's politician.

History now looks more kindly upon Mr Brown as the man who saved us from the perils of the Eurozone.
