What a carnival of untruths the Tory speeches were.

"This is not a time to quail", cried BoJo - "not a moment for wobbling or self doubt" - five minutes before he quit.

Michael Gove spoke of "unity" before his assassin speech.

Theresa May, having hidden in terror for most of the referendum campaign, claimed she was "tough".

Stephen Crabb said he was the candidate for "humility" - after boasting about his brief cabinet career.

Andrea Leadsom "The richest people in Britain should know they will not be my priority", declared in a private room of the Cinnamon Club Restaurant where a gold rush cocktail costs £400 and basic set menu is £65 per head excluding drinks.
