If we have learned one thing since May 2015, it is that the Tory party post Thatcher cannot govern on its own. Having led a perfectly respectable and rather effective coalition government for five years, Cameron has managed to blunder out of Europe, threaten the Union, create economic uncertainty which will fester and grow and gone back on his promises to continue to lead the country, even if Yes to Brexit, and invoke Article 50 immediately. All because he had a Tory Party majority for the first time since Major. Including Major the Tories have had five leaders since Thatcher. All have failed one way or another. All were men. Time for another woman?
As for Boris, there are no words. His bid to become prime minister, of which his cynical decision to lead the Leave campaign was a price both this nation and all Europe has now to pay, will be long recalled as one of the most spectacular political car wrecks in history. Only yesterday, yes yesterday, the Tories sat in the Commons at PMQs, laughing smugly at the turmoil which Labour had brought upon itself. Well today it is all changed. This Tory government, with its lying, treacherous, Old Etonian core, has become the laughing stock of the world.
