It's a good job for Boris the membership of the Tory Party is 90% undead cryptofascists because his blithering incompetence at campaigning would shame Theresa May.

He might not get to do that for very long if he can't carry Parliament.
This level of evasiveness would be a terrible look in an election campaign because all it does is create space for rivals parties to set out their stalls. It didn't work for May in 2017 and it definitely won't work now that the field is more crowded. It'll work this time because no one who matters cares about Jeremy Hunt.

She looks in the mirror and stares at the wrinklesThat weren't there yesterdayAnd thinks of the young man that she almost marriedWhat would he think if he saw her this way?She picks up her apron in little girl-fashionAs something comes into her mindSlowly starts dancing remembering her girlhoodAnd all of the boys she had waiting in lineOh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewifeYou see everywhere any time of the dayAn everyday housewife who gave up the good life for meThe photograph album she takes from the closetAnd slowly turns the pageAnd carefully picks up the crumbling flowerThe first one he gave her now withered with ageShe closes her eyes andTouches the house dress that suddenly disappearsAnd just for the moment she's wearing the gownThat broke all their minds back so many yearsOh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewifeYou see everywhere any time of the dayAn everyday housewife who gave up the good life for meOh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewifeYou see everywhere any time of the dayAn everyday housewife who gave up the good life for meOh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewifeYou see everywhere any time of the day

Seventy Two Virginsby Boris JohnsonHarperCollins £17.99, pp336A gang of comedy terrorists penetrates the heart of Parliament. A Tory MP's researcher is to blame for the worst security breach in centuries. Ministers look on aghast as Westminster is defended by grand old men in silk stockings, breeches and ceremonial swords.The determination of our times to trump the best fiction can conjure was illustrated again last month when protesters burst into the House of Commons, comprehensively scooping the plot of Boris Johnson's novel, Seventy Two Virgins, for sheer effrontery and farce.The author imagines a group of Islamic militants pulling off an equivalent coup de theatre in the adjacent Westminster Hall, just as the US President is delivering a tiresome speech. A bicycling Tory MP whose buffoonery masks acute intelligence and a classical education - he might sound familiar to some readers - is the last, unlikely hope of the free world. One should not spoil the ending but you might just be able to guess.

I hope these buses he makes out of wine crates are properly ventilated unlike the mobile saunas he foisted on the poor sweltering commuters of London during his tenure as Mayor (aka the Most Successful Politician In the History of Humanity).
