Sarah Vine has to be partly responsible! ;)

[intexasatthe moment]

So he's weasled out of having to deal with the mess he helped to create .So he can keep his powder dry for a future attempt at PM .

I almost admire his cunning .

You do have to wonder about a woman who uses CAPITAL letters in an email to her hubby. He's henpecked I tell you.

The email says: "One simple message: You MUST have SPECIFIC from Boris OTHERWISE you cannot guarantee your support. The details can be worked out later on, but without that you have no leverage.

"Crucially, the membership will not have the necessary reassurance to back Boris, neither will Dacre/Murdoch, who instinctively dislike Boris but trust your ability enough to support a Boris Gove ticket. Do not concede any ground. Be your stubborn best. GOOD LUCK."

[Loz]

Gove is an intellectual. Vine is an experienced media person and, it sounds, quite strategically savvy. That's quite a team.

He's obviously smart enough to take her advice and it look like the strategy was a good one.

[Mick Mac]

Henpecked I tell you.

I WOULDN'T TAKE IT.

[dirac]

So the snide f**k is going to just stand back and not clear up or answer for the mess he's left this country in. Bet this isn't the last we'll see of his bid for PM either.

Could do a sequel about the Euro 16 exit. "Brexit 2: A Country Committed to Leaving Europe"

Brexit 3...Boris Returns!...

But was he weaseled, or was he bought?

[edcam]

All set up by Vine. Does anyone believe for a second that she'd write an email like that to her husband and "accidentally" send it to the wrong person?

It's the information about Dacre and Murdoch that are the clincher re Boris's downfall, obviously.

[midivydale]

No, I believe that there was nothinh accedental about this (isnt she a daily mail contributor)?

agree

but as for the return of Boris, he really is damaged goods this time - there will not be any forgiveness for the disasters that he has brought onto his party and the country as a whole

Let's hope ....

I do not think we have heard the last of Boris Johnson just yet.

New Chancellor/Home Secretary if Gove gets it I reckon.

In a political sense we have. I'd be astonished if the Tories (at least) ever let him near them again after the embarrassment he's caused them.

He's not being given an easy ride in the media or on social media. Heseltine's piece and Ewan MacGregor and Alex Kapranos' tweets don't pull any punches.

Another good reason to stop Gove.

[Seabag]

Much as I loathe BJ, remember who got us to this point

Cameron, his colleagues and his stupid 'shit or bust' ego

[Robert Poste's Child]

And don't forget Boris's tendency to self-sabotage. I think he's let himself be out-manoeuvred at the final fence by someone with a colder mind. He should know that back-stabbing is the Tory way.

[DulwichFox]

Evidently Gove has been advised to stand down and make way for a landslide win for Teresa May..

This News probably out of date before the 'Ink' has dried..

[uncleglen]

I agree with Mick Mac- Gove is henpecked- his wife is probably round at no. 10 measuring up as we type. Gove has repeatedly said in the past he isn't PM material. Theresa May is a Remainer ....Liam Fox is a Catholic and voted against Same-Sex Marriages. I reckon the Remainers know that Gove is probably unpopular with the membership, and whispered in his ear. They want Theresa May hoping that the unthinkable will happen and she will try and p*ss on the majority 17.5 million Leave voters ...Come Back Boris...
