He’s not a Conservative in any traditional sense. His unification of the party related to one issue, and one only. One that he seized the opportunity of after famously penning two articles such was his lack of conviction for either side of the argument.
A populist is only useful to the extent they remain popular. And the mask has well and truly slipped.

Newspaper owners and editors consciously develop a personality for their titles and then ensure it speaks with a voice that reflects it. Given that the Telegraph was pro-Brexit and it was fairly widely acknowledged that Boris probably stood the best chance of delivering it, their rapid turn against him is quite striking and in the crazy world of Fleet Street, “Hate” is as good a way of expressing that as any.

Fear not, OB is most likely already penning just the rebuttal you’re looking for.
