Boris’s daughter Lara Johnson-Wheeler told friends that her dad “is a selfish bastard". Added: "Mum is finished with him. She will never take him back now”.
Or maybe Marina Wheeler has just been playing the long game, and waiting for the optimum moment to knife him? A secret Gove-ite?
Probably because there isn't an alternative plan that doesn't just read 'Cripes, erm, I mean, crikey, we seem to have, erm, erm, did we really, crikey, erm, erm ... anyone remember wiff-waff?"

Socially conservative Tory members won't vote for Boris, even if he makes it into the final two.
Lay Boris like one of his many many mistresses.
CF the 2016 Tory leadership election.
I highly recommend "On the Eve" as a fascinating picture of the diversity of European Jewry, in all its complexity and factions. One cannot travel, particularly in Eastern Europe, without feeling the loss of a vibrant strand of European culture.

Cheers for that.
You might be interested in the work of Dovid Katz, a formidable scholar of Lithuanian Yiddish culture (who has crossed swords with historian Timothy Snyder on occasion):

Why can't you have my standards of moral hygiene?
Where I think you go wrong is in thinking that people who support Brexit don't actually mean it.
If the Conservatives made Boris their leader, they'd be choosing someone like Thorpe who was extremely charismatic, but also appallingly reckless.
If I replace trade with the EU with more trade elsewhere ( which is exactly what I have done) I am trading more.
You must be disappointed but a result as far as I am concerned
As Bill Clinton, JFK, Berlusconi, Chirac, Mitterand etc prove having a colourful private life matters little if you have charisma and on the EU Boris remains closely aligned with the bulk of the Tory membership. Brexiteers who want a more traditionalist leader will just shift to the even harder line anti Chequers Deal and strict Catholic Jacob Rees-Mogg anyway, not a Remainer
Back May or get Corbin really helped to rally to May this year. But no one was really thinking Corbin. The word was algebra for Boris.
When great Satan’s gone, the whore of Babylon, just can’t exist with all that empty space.
We have higher standards than the French, Americans, and Italians.
Wonder who invited them?
And would you agree with me, the whole song would go completely stale if the leader of opposition could actually say: totally agree with everything you say, it’s an absolute outrage what they’ve done to us. But what are you actually doing about it? Sanctions! Go after the dirty money? The yanks have gone further than you, for all your bluster you are actually doing diddly squat!
If his wife can't trust him, who can?
They are now giving TM until November
Conference should be less aggresive as TM agrees a deal for us.
Boris will never be PM (sure there is an abbreviation for that)
So that’s fine then.
At last, after the most ludicrous weeks yet since Brexit vote, some sanity about the chequers proposal. How could we seriously have a negotiation with ourselves about ourselves, and then claim that's final deal for everybody? Chequers backers have absolutely shredded what was left of their credibility trying to claim that.
Victory is in sight now.
That was the first one that I got to too - either our PMs have been very good at covering up their infidelities, or found the day job quite consuming. If a recent one might have had the character of a womaniser it would be Blair - but there's little/no evidence that thats the case (Wendi Deng story?) and the Blair marriage seems happy.
We means any one from the UK including the ram shaggers.
I’m only concerned it doesn’t eat the rest of us along the way. What the hell decent folk like Ummuna, Kinnock, Phillips, Gapes, etc are doing with these loons is beyond me. Unless they are awaiting their moment to do the decent thing and disassociate totally.
