Best for Britain - or best for Boris?

BORIS joining the Out campaign has put the cat among the pigeons — or should I say the lion among the chickens? I’m pleased to see him putting his principles first, instead of trying to curry favour with the Prime Minister as others have done. Good for you, Boris. If the Out campaign is successful, then leadership of the party — and, who knows, future Premiership — should rightly be yours.

G. Hill, Weston-super-Mare, Somerset. I was delighted Boris Johnson has decided to go with Out, but I was disappointed that Theresa May has gone the other way. I thought she was better than that and she has certainly lost my vote in future. when I saw the other candidates supporting In, I knew I had made the right decision to vote Out.

Helen Penney, longborough, Glos. SO BORIS has joined the Leave campaign — what a surprise! He says he agonised on his decision before he decided on Sunday. But why not Saturday like the rest of the anti-Europe Tory MPs? He has had weeks to agonise. No, the real reason is that he is one for the grand entrance, with maximum publicity. His end game is to be the front-runner for Prime Minister if we vote for leaving the EU and Cameron resigns. This sets him up very nicely, and his ‘agonising’ is more to do with timing his leadership campaign than anything else.

TREVOR BROWN, Glossop, derbyshire. News that Boris Johnson has joined the Out brigade is heartening. That he wants to be the next PM is not. are we seeing ambition over what’s best for the UK, or something else?

DAVID HARVEY, Chippenham, Wilts. I NEVER thought I’d say this, but with Boris Johnson’s blatant display of ambition to be the next Tory leader, George Osborne appears an increasingly attractive candidate for that role.
