There will be a few more to come . . I forget the actual number of those who failed in the leadership contest

Many in the leadership contest are hoping for cabinet positions with one of the winners.

Another BoJo denial exposed and more US interference in UK politics.

2018. Boris Johnson dismissed any association with Steve Bannon, calling the theory a “lefty delusion whose spores continue to breed in the Twittersphere”. Steve Bannon is Donald Trump's former adviser who quit in August 2017.

Mr Bannon, who helped propel Mr Trump into the White House, disclosed that he offered advice by text message ahead of Mr Johnson’s resignation speech in the House of Commons on July 18 2018...

The Klayman clip, obtained by The Observer newspaper, shows Mr Bannon reading a Daily Telegraph article about Mr Johnson’s resignation speech. “Today we are going to see if Boris Johnson tries to overthrow the British government. He’s going to give a speech in the Commons,” Mr Bannon told the director. “I’ve been talking to him all weekend about this speech. We went back and forth over the text.”

Mr Bannon said he had got to know Mr Johnson during the transition period after Mr Trump’s election victory. He had been urging the foreign secretary to give a repeat of his “important” speech in the final hours of the Leave campaign in June 2016....

On Sunday a spokesman said it would be reasonable for a foreign secretary and a chief of staff to the US president to communicate. However, the text messages occurred nearly a year after Mr Bannon had quit the White House in August 2017.

Just like President Obama interfered in our EU referendum then in 2016 with his blackmail threat, I have maintained though he actually helped our cause but still, interference is interference right?

Unless you conveniently forgot about that, like you always do when the liberal side have done the exact same thing.

You are missing Andrew's point. He is pointing out Johnson is lying to our faces when he says he had nothing to do with Bannon. Our prospective Prime Minister is a serial liar .. who knew?

Bannon - Such a truthful person.

Well he's been sacked from 3 jobs for lying, at least he's consistent.

I have missed no point and I won't have you tell me so. But...Oh dear a politician who lies - never heard of one of them before have you not - Jeez?

Get a grip. Most if not all politicians lie. Theresa May lied, Blair lied - Brown lied - Corbyn lies - Liberal Democrats have LIED - It's what makes a politics, politics.

There's lying and then there is Boris lying .. he has taken it to a new level and made it an Olympic event.

The Scottish Tories are not happy either:

Boris Johnson as PM would be 'catastrophe' for UK, say Scottish Tories

Senior Scottish Conservatives fear Boris Johnson’s election as Tory leader could be a “catastrophe” for the UK, because it is likely to turbo-charge the campaign for Scottish independence.

Senior Tories believe Johnson’s zeal for Brexit will immediately boost support for a fresh referendum – a view echoed by Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s first minister, on Sunday. Johnson as prime minister would be “devastating, disastrous” for the party and make the case for independence stronger than ever, she said.

This is the best bit

A Panelbase poll in the Sunday Times Scotland this weekend found support for independence would jump to 53% if Johnson became prime minister, giving the yes campaign a six-point lead. It found he has a popularity rating among Scottish voters of -37, a worse rating than Nigel Farage.

Worse than Farage!!!!

Far fetched rubbish.

There is no such thing as Boris lying - there is lying and nothing else - it's just a type of "derangement syndrome" to be obsessed with certain politicians who lie. Majority of them lie and distort the truth, so stop being a bloody hypocrite.

Not interested in reading something written in the garbage Guardian - not interested in reading one sided Fake News from a pathetic liberal gutter rag.

A "bloody hypocrite", eh? Seems a bit unfriendly ..

Here's some more palatable news sources for you:

Poll finds Scots would vote for independence if Boris Johnson becomes PM – as Sturgeon gloats that he will be a 'disaster' for the Tories

Scottish people would vote to leave the United Kingdom if Boris Johnson becomes prime minister
