May this clownish fabulist’s career be destroyed by the monster he helped create more quickly than those of his immediate predecessors. The UK needs all the small mercies it can get.

The British public … were at no stage invited to vote on whether Gordon Brown should be PM.
I don’t remember any Labour spokesman revealing that they planned to do a big switcheroo after only two years.
…a transition about as democratically proper as the transition from Claudius to Nero.

As with the US, he didn’t win a popular vote.
In fact, he got in on 0.14% of the vote.
That’s not the margin of victory, by the way. Only Conservative Party members were eligible to vote for him, and the number of votes he got from them translates to 0.14% of the total population.
So if you hear him banging on about a mandate to do anything - which he will, because populists far prefer spouting that kind of crap to actually doing things - just remember his entire mandate is 0.14%.

Not sure whether I’m more pissed at Cameron for chickenshitting out after binding to the nonbinding resolution, or at May for her equally bleak lack of courage in cleaning up Cameron’s fucking mess. Now this.

What’s the over/under on how long Boris actually lasts, if he’s generally loathed and looking at a Tory revolt?

Accelerationism never works. At best, people go back to the relative comfort of the status quo.
