			Boris was also trolling ... he was a newspaper columnist, it was his job.

The correct criticism of Boris is not that he was not elected by the country, but that he became Prime Minister by the same process he had criticised someone else of.

What will now be interesting is to see how Boris goes about implementing his programme. A fresh approach would be very welcome.

 |  Agreed. Whilst he's boxed himself in a bit with promises, he's quite good at extracting himself from them (eg Heathrow) so will be fascinating to see how this goes.

 All the remainers are resigning it's quite refreshing.
 
The chief remainer has gone to hand in her resignation to the Queen.
