As a great man once said "“Who is more foolish? The fool or the fool who follows him?”

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

I think that was Obi Wan Kenobi ^^^^

I disengage, I turn the page.

Out of interest, who do you see as the next potential leader? Rishi Sunak is clear favourite with the bookmakers, with Liz Truss second. That is likely their concern, that despite the damage done, they're not exactly overflowing with leadership material. The same could of course also be said about Labour.

Ah, you've come round.

The point that people are getting exercised by a bit of cake when the Russians are "at the door" is a good one in terms of proportion. However, notwithstanding the critical principle of making the rules and then living within them, as well as displaying honesty and integrity one expects and needs from our senior world leader, there is also the point that this "rabble" made the distraction in the first place.

It’ll be someone else IMO

The economy is in dire straits and the Sunak will take the bullet for the tax hikes and rising inflation. He’s been riding on the crest of the furlough wave so far but cost of living and the wages tax will see him dive in popularity.

Truss has the poisoned chalice of the Northern Ireland protocol to deal with. Brexit is far from done. The near irreconcilable problem of the Irish border is still there - at some point someone is going to need to carry the can for entering a treaty that Boris never intended to honour.

Leadership is not a popularity contest.

Whoever replaces Johnson will have to steer through inflation, fuel prices and the NI proposed increase etc etc.

I think we need to look outside the betting.

Tugendhat, Baker, Wallace all decent prospects for me.

All seem to have integrity and common sense.
