BOJO GETS HIS HANDS ON OUR ESTHER !






Well in my opinion this race has fallen rather flat due to the final two being so badly unequal in talent, and hence a one sided contest has resulted. Even time for that scoundrel Boris to relax and spend his time pawing the delightful Esther, rather than keeping his thoughts purely political.

BoJo: 'Come up to my Hotel room, Esther, and I'll see if I can find a position for you ?'

Esther: 'In your Cabinet ?'

BoJo: 'Not exactly what I had in mind. But I suppose we could talk about that afterwards' 



Esther, runaway favourite amongst TFF members to become the new PM, just failed (to get through the first round). But talents such as hers can't be ignored, and Boris surely has a shortlist of McVey, Truss, and Rees-Mogg from which to select his Chancellor. Press speculation that he may have either Spock Ears or the Cricket Candidate in mind for that position, are hopefully wide of the mark.

As Matthew Leeming wrote in the Telegraph yesterday, his headline describing BoJo as 'the most talented person of his generation', BoJo now breezing through the contest shouldn't come as a surprise. Rather than hours of preparation for the next days big debate, BoJo was polishing off a bottle or two of red wine,  even if the sofa did get to enjoy a fair bit of it, and then indulged in a plate throwing fight with Carrie until the early hours. Whereas Theresa In Trousers, can't you just imagine, would have been swotting up all evening, and then have got himself tucked up in bed by 10pm


'I met Boris Johnson early in my first term at Oxford and we went on to share a house together. It was obvious even before he became President of the Union that he was the most talented person of my generation.

He was a scholar at Balliol, a college famous for what H H Asquith – one of several old boys who became prime minister – called “effortless superiority”, that annoying British ability to excel without apparently having put any work into it.

Boris embodies this to an extent he might call preternatural. I have always been proud to call this extravagantly gifted man my friend'

This 'effortless superiority' as Leeming calls it, could be what makes the Prime Minister's job ideal for Boris. No Department to run, a massive amount of staff and PR people to deal with most things day to day, and little other than one half hour session in Parliament most weeks, during which you have to field 3 or 4 questions from the hapless Corbyn, whose frailties have now been brought to the attention of the public by concerned civil servants. Meanwhile, the actual running of Government can be left in the extremely capable hands of Rees-Mogg, Steve Baker, Mark Francois, or some of the bevy of beauties BoJo won't be able to stop himself appointing to key posts. 

Rees- Mogg directing policy, while Boris entertains Esther in the flat upstairs the moment Cabinet meetings close ? A win/win situation for the country and for our new Prime Minister !  And if you're in any doubt, remember the alternative would have been Remainer May's puppet.
