Who believes Boris now?

ALTHOUGH briefly a briefing room, the million-pound makeover of Number 9 Downing Street tells us a great deal about the Prime Minister.

He takes up fancies with great enthusiasm and trumpet-blowing then quickly drops them when he tires of them or they become inconvenient or embarrassing or are revealed as vain folly.

Even on the day of debriefing the briefing room he was at it again, impetuously announcing that all measures would be taken to prevent the proposed football European Super League and that he would legislate against it. The league seems to have fallen apart faster than his promise, of course. But does anyone really believe anything he says?
