Pretty much agree with everything kimbers has said on this page.
Anybody hear Tory Plan B on LBC last night? (Tony Blair for the hard of thinking).

+1.
Personally, I think the journos are responsible for the politicians. If the media gave Politicians a fair balanced hearing talented people might be more willing to go into public service.
...but then the public are responsible for the journos so it all comes back to us.
Spain are net takers, the UK are net contributors. Rocket science it ain’t.
Within the UK the places that voted most strongly to leave appear to be those benefiting more from EU money. It's not just about the sums.
Back on topic I heard something that seemed to hit the nail on the head. Meeting Boris is like meeting Paris Hilton. You think you are meeting up with a ditzy blond(e) but instead are confronted with a well-organised machine.
According to Ian Hislop

I'd bet the reality is more that you attempt to 'meet boris' but are instead hit by a wall of flunkies who deflect all responsibility and have playbook excuses, and even if you do get to meet him you get BS because he's a shyster

The expression ‘hoist by his own petard’ is particularly appropriate here.
Who'd actually want to be leader of the Conservatives with that mob of back stabbing plotters behind you?
Boris Johnson for sure.
Politics has always been a vehicle for his insatiable attention seeking ego.
Anyone leader of the Tory Party in present situation, of unprecedented bitter turmoil and divisions, can expect to get vastly more focused attention and headlines than any other party leader of recent times.
