Iain Duncan Smith claimed Boris Johnson was “begging” for votes from Tory MPs before he pulled out of the Conservative leadership race at the weekend...
Duncan Smith said:..“He kind of expected, I think, when he arrived there would be at least 150 people claiming him and that would grow to the majority...He certainly found himself struggling and begging for votes. That was demeaning, really...And then, when Rishi and the others said no, the only deal we would do with you is if you were serving us and not the other way around."
″That of course, didn’t suit him.”
Some years ago he presented a very interesting television series about the Romans and he could well win an appreciative audience again by sharing his learning and enthusiasm. He was a chancer who took one chance too many but he still has something to offer.
I see that Boris and Carrie Johnson have announced the birth of their fourth (and Boris's ninth) child, Poppy Eliza Josephine Johnson.
