Boris Johnson: Last time, his comments on London Pride were undermined because he called gay men “tank-top wearing bum boys”. Previously, he was berated for calling the French “turds”. Now this.

This reminds me of a meme I just saw on Facebook, regarding the claims Conservatives have made before becoming prime minister.

So David Cameron said: “Vote for me to prevent a Labour government causing chaos!” And then he caused chaos.

Theresa May said: “Vote for me to prevent a Labour government causing chaos!” And then he caused chaos.

And now Boris Johnson is saying: “Vote for me to prevent a Labour government causing chaos!” But he isn’t waiting to win the election.

He’s causing chaos already.

Mr Johnson intends an early European tour if, as is likely, he wins the ballot for the Conservative leadership. Paris, Berlin and Dublin are on the list. He may encounter some bumps along the way.

His long record of mendacity and an infantile habit of comparing the EU to Nazi Germany have not created a reservoir of trust among other European leaders. They are unimpressed by his “do-or-die” threat of a no-deal Brexit. Mr Johnson’s crude English exceptionalism is even less endearing.

At the Foreign Office he was heard to muse as to whether Chancellor Angela Merkel had served in East Germany’s Stasi secret police. French president Emmanuel Macron was a “jumped-up Napoleon”. As for Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, “Why isn’t he called Murphy like all the rest of them”.
