Ridiculous statement wasn't it ? ( and Brian Fantana)
Only it's a cut and paste from 2007.
Using Boris Johnson's exact words and substituting the Labour references with Tory ones......
:ffsparr:
The public voted for Theresa May to serve as their leader. They were at no stage invited to vote on whether Boris Johnson should be PM. They voted for Theresa, and yet they now get Boris, and a transition about as democratically proper as the transition from Claudius to Nero. It is a scandal...
Johnson won't be running things. He'll be the figure head. The bumbling cuddly oddity that folk will warm to. Expect more eccentricity.
Meanwhile the Tory right will operate behind him. Pulling the levers. That is his debt to them.
