I think Boris is a shoe-in for the PM job. He's the most popular candidate by a mile amongst the rank and file Tory members.
I would be amazed if Boris ever works again although it does look like he's teflon coated.
On Thursday he promised us that by leaving the EU we'd cut immigration. On Friday he said leaving the EU won't cut immigration at all.
But by then we'd voted to cut our first line of defence against immigration so if anything it will increase. Was he strung up from the nearest lamppost? Incredibly, no.
On Thursday he told us to leave the EU because we are paying £350million a week that could be spent on the NHS. On Friday he said we don't spend anything like that on Europe and the NHS won't be getting the money anyway. Lynch mob? No - just another media opportunity.
On Thursday he told us that all the financial and political analysts who said that the British economy would suffer if we left the EU were "making idle threats"and "they need us more". An hour ago, the pound which was already on it's knees started to fall against the Euro FFS! The one currency they predicted would retain parity with us.
Recession looms with the inevitable job losses, pension cuts, decrease in property values (already down 5% in a week but predicted to fall by 20%) reduced public services, higher prices in the shops and inflation.
Are they calling for Boris's head?
Well yes they are, but only in the minority Remain-friendly media where he is described as a traitor to his country and a liar.
My question is how many U-turns will be enough for leave voters to realise they've actually lost and turn on Boris?
