1. If Johnson was so manifestly unsuited to office - if his "deep character flaws" were formed so early - how did he rise to power? What does that say about our democracy, or the qualities we reward in potential leaders? And what was the role of the commentariat?

I can’t believe I’m even saying this but new chancellor Jeremy Hunt just told PM’s his parties record on economic management “is a legacy to be proud of” So let’s put that absolute bollocks straight - using their own words

“Tomorrow we will be betting the economy on Emperor Spirit, at odds of 15 to 2, in the 2.50 race at Haydock. This hotly recommended horse will, we believe, give us sufficient return for growth within the next 24 hours. It promises to be an exciting day.”

Disturbing but necessary exclusive from @NewStatesman to share with us. Rishi Sunak boasting without a care in the world, to Tory members in Tunbridge Wells that he had taken money from “deprived urban areas” to help wealthy towns. So this is leadership?
