Dead to me......
Besides the fact that they believe in unicorns the one thing uniting the candidates to be leader of the Tory party is that the current PM, is dead to them.
Not one put their hand on their heart and said that they thought he was an honest man. Not one, who just a week or so ago was on TV defending him as just that, is now willing to even say that he is a man of his word.
Boris Johnson has therefore fallen further and more quickly than any other former PM I can think of. But what does it say of the candidates?
Men and women of principle, speakers of truth to power, real leaders?
Or sycophants, easily lead, unprincipled, gutless and willing only to condemn now the King is dead?
The first and last question any of them should be asked is: Why did you lie about the liar?
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
