After Brexit, BJ would just confirm that we’re no longer a country to take seriously. Boris has made a good start by offering the Conservative membership a tax cut in exchange for the votes he will be getting anyway. He’s obviously not taking anything for granted.

Last week the Tory leadership hopeful chatted with Presiden… Nice one BorisJohnson , you are the man to beat, everyone want a piece of you, I guess it's the reason for the confusion. No rush Trump, the man will be in Downing Street come July ending it's all good. Doubtful! He was just deliberately being rude! Likewise didn’t he boycott the State Dinner for the POTUS hosted by QEII? What’s his excuse for that? A sun headline I don’t actually doubt is true. Thing is boris probably phoned him. Still convinced it was a prank call then hung up on him

'Not the Boris we're used to': Johnson's ruthlessly organised bid for PMTory MPs ‘gobsmacked’ by lengths to which frontrunner’s team is going in attempt to win support It's not him, it will be his backers, so don't be fooled I don’t see what the problem is! Johnson is the Only Conservative at this moment, that would be acceptable to the voting public. Every single one of the others on that list have been tarnished by their support of TM & of not doing the honourable thing and getting rid of her. Boris would be a big mistake imo. Poor judgement and too much Trump and that should worry everyone.
