"The turmoil of a General Election" - what turmoil?

It would be the sensible thing for May to arrange a General Election as soon as possible, before the opposition gets its head together with its body. I hope Teribus is right in predicting she won't, but I suspect he's wrong.

I wonder what job Andrea Leadsom will get in the new administration as her reward.

The big puzzle in all this is still why Boris Johnson imploded, just becacause Gove was nasty to him. On the face of it he could have shrugged Gove off as an irritaring tick, and still have had a god chance to be one of the two finalists. In which case ephe'd probably have walked it.

Of course he's probably a lot less keen on Brexit than Theresa May, but that needn't have been a serious problem. Surely there has to be some other explanation. But it's hard to think of a likely dirty secret which would seriously have harmed Boris. Something llike those swinish rumours about Cameron wouldn't have worked. Maybe he just considered the options and decided it just wouldn't be any fun.

And I don't think having Theresa May in charge is going to be any fun for any of us.
