well......we nearly had Boris as PM, after the referendum. it was only Gove's leadership challenge that scuppered Boris.

He must have been a flipping nightmare to work for when he was Education Sec.

Still theres not many that do walk away from that can of worms with any honour. In my time I can only think of John MacGregor, who had the guts to tell Thatcher that her national curriculum plans were a load of crap. Then he was despatched to Northern Ireland to pay him out.
