Re: [Updated] Boris elected Tory leader
Boris was also trolling ... he was a newspaper columnist, it was his job.

The difference is that Mr K isn't a PM who criticised a predecessor for not being elected. 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.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!
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.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he has his first meeting with the Queen.

She is said to be quite frank with her PMs. Pity we’ll never really know.

Anyway, back to Mr Blobby. If he hasn't pressed the button by accident by the end of the day he'll have surpassed my expectations...

Re: [Updated] Boris elected Tory leader
A liar*, an adulterer, and the Prime Minister walk into a bar.
… He orders a drink.
*not the bus - he was fired twice for lying...

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