The thick of it!
At five past nine last night, Boris Johnson pulled out (for the first time in his life) of the race to reclaim leadership of the Conservative Party.
This was either down to the fact he didn't really have 102 MPs who would back him, or there wasn't enough other MPs who would serve in a Cabint lead by Johnson. That would be the dictionary definition of not having the confidence of The House.
So, those 49 who did back him now have been let down, again. I mean, how many times can this happen before they learn.
He has distracted the media, and this blog, when we could and should have been asking more questions of Rishi and Penny. The former has not made a speech in the Commons or anything on social meadi in the nearly 50 days since he lost to Truss, but did post yesterday afternoon he was, of course, running again.
So, Johnson further split the Tory Party, piled on more embarassment for the country, only to back out.
I am still laughing like a drain.
