Boris has ruled himself out of the leadership :(

[Mo Britain less Europe]

The referendum result doesn't instruct a party who its leader should be, only what they are mandated to do.

Sorry but the insistence that the referendum result somehow entitles May to be PM ahead of Johnson or Gove is simply perverse. FACT.

Couple of reasons why you are wrong... 52% of the votes cast were to leave, who knows what % of those were Tory voters, so how does a referendum question decide who can and can't run for leader of the party, every chance it will be May v Gove that the Tory party vote for... if Goive loses then it shows that the Tory voters think May is the better leader to lead us out of Europe (if it comes to that)

Difficult to see how a man who had said he was not up to the job can win. There must have been a lot of private knives out for Boris.

The Tory party does have previous in picking rank outsiders to be leader.... Sir C for PM!
