PAT+JUDE TALK ABOUT BYE-BYE BORIS, WORKING FROM HOME, NEI’S WOMEN’S SOCCER AND THEJAPANESE EX-PM.
And so we say farewell to the glory that was Johnson. Will he be missed in any way? Is it possible that, if he gets the PM caretaker gig until the autumn, he’ll find a way to make a rising-from-the -dead comeback? The Northern Ireland women’s soccer team played in the Euros last night. I […]

Sic transit gloria Johnson
So what was it that brought down – or shortly will- the tousle-headed joker who got caught on a zip-wire and waved Union flags while millions adored him? What was it that brought him – or soon will- to his knees, his lying gob in the dirt? Some would say it was his lying gob. […]
