Incomparable Boris

The morning after Boris Johnson’s defenestration, our front-page headline asked: What the hell have they done?

Yesterday, as he crushed his puny critics with customary wit and eloquence in what could be his final Commons appearance as PM, many voters will have been asking exactly the same question.

The Conservative Party has cravenly betrayed its most charismatic and electable leader since Lady Thatcher. We can only pray that the price is not a disastrous Starmer-led government in 2024.
