• Well, if there's one slightly positive thing to come out of this, it's that Johnson is temporarily out of the picture. I don't believe for one moment that his excuse for bowing out wasn't somehow concocted in cahoots with Gove, and, of course, he'll be back in a few years' time (although he will probably get a post in Government, anyway).

    Long-time Johnson-hater Sonia Purnell sums up (some of) the ossuary in his closet:

  • Johnson's never held a role in the cabinet, has he... And the only thing he actually did whilst occupying the large testicle on the Southbank was to reintroduce the Routemaster, whilst piggy-backing projects that had been sign off by the preceeding administration.

    Ill-prepared man for the big job. Perhaps he can go back to writing for publications which I didn't read anyway.

  • With hair like his, Boris Johnson should partner Joe Hart on the next Head and Shoulders advert. "When you're letting the country down, whether in the sporting arena or genuinely ruining everything, the last thing you need to worry about is dandruff..."
