Eddie Mair sensed that Boris was stymied and went in for the kill, and who can blame him.
aelmpvw is 100% correct. Boris would be a marvellous companion for a night down the Pub. He would keep all around amused for hours with anecdotes. As regards
his political abilities, I think its too early to write him off just yet.
May will be gone soon, one way or the other, and generally speaking, people like Boris, which is more than you can say for most in his Party.
He may yet rise to the occasion !
