Boris throws his hat in Cameron’s ring

June 18, 2005

“I hope that David Cameron removes his hat from wherever he has got it, and chucks it firmly in the ring. That hat has got to simultaneously decapitate his competitors and land in the ring.”
And with those typically amusing words, Boris has thrown his weight behind the Tory leadership candidate. He adds that if there were any plots to oust Michael Howard, he was “frankly insulted” that he hadn’t been asked to take part.
All this, frankly, puts Boriswatch at a quandry. We would of course like Boris to be leader, although we agree young Cameron would be a very decent second choice. We would have thought Boris was the most popular amongst the masses, but with his odds remaining steadfastly in the 100-1 region, is there any hope for a Prime Minister Boris?
Aha! Boriswatch has an idea…

Boris for Leader? Not likely, say Ladbrokes…

June 16, 2005

The growing Conservative uprising concerning the leadership brings back fond memories of this post, where I reported on the cheering throngs on Question Time when Boris’s rise to the top of the party was mooted.

Of course, Boriswatchers are in total agreement, but others are not so sure, as a Ladbrokes odds page shows. He tying with that great whale Nicolas Soames, for crying out loud! But, in amongst these doubters, there are the avid supporters – one of which is Anthony Worrall Thompson, chef extraordinaire. “Boris,” he says, “is an excellent constituency MP.” And he utters words of wisdom that your humble host can thoroughly agree with. “I think,” espouses the Great Worrall in this article, “the Tory Party found Mr Johnson a bit of a threat.” And that, as I said to Channel 5 just last year, is the real reason why Boris is not in the top ranks. Yet.
In other news, I hear the official Boris website is due for a redesign, giving it a lighter, more summery air. With discs. Confused? Well, stay tuned for a design that Boris has apparently declared “very swish”…

Fighting Boris – a view from the front line

June 5, 2005

In interesting insight into battling against Boris in recent election comes from an unusual source – Exzibet.net, a “webzine for aspiring journalists”. In “Inside Boris Johnson Country“, Nicolas Newman details the trouble Labour had in fighting a “dead duck” constituency, with no hope of winning. If you look past the slightly off-piste grammar, it’s an interesting read.
