For all the jot of us winning I know that there will be certain AWIMBers

Not really. As I said yesterday, Cameron won a working majority with a six-point lead. And that is very much at the lower end of the spectrum in terms of the level of Boris's lead. We've all been conditioned to be negative after 2017 and that's fair enough, but there is far more reason to be positive than negative at the moment.

What if the leftwaffe have targeted the right marginal seats? What if the BP nicks the wrong votes in the wrong places?

It's far too tight for comfort.

Boris being Boris is probably the biggest concern for the Tory party, the photo/phone incident yesterday does nothing to help people think he doesn't actually give a **** about the public

What, the bit where he looked at the picture, said it's a horrible thing, apologised and made the point that he would be looking to increase spending on the NHS?

Honestly. I think there is some sort of mass hysteria going around. People only see and hear what they want to see and hear, despite the clear ***king evidence ot he contrary.

The bit where he repeatedly refused to look at the picture, took the phone off the reporter and put it in the pocket...that bit of evidence

HE LOOKED AT THE PICTURE! How long did you want him to stare at it? How weak would he be to pander to a 'journalist' who had descended to the gutter for the sake of a cheap emotional blackmail stunt?

It's the refusinmg to look at it, and not wanting to talk about it that makes the news, he could have looked straight away and said "that is why we are leaving the EU, so we can spend extra money on the NHS", since that was on his battle bus in 2016 it would have made sense.

So Boris being Boris is an issue

After he took it off the reporter and stuck it in his pocket, you are trying top defend something that all the major news outlets have commented on. He could have headed this off at the pass

They're making a big deal of it because they're desperate for anything that they think will damage him. They are therefore not showing his full reaction, which was to engage with the picture, say it was bad and say he was going to spend more money on the NHS. He then absent-mindedly put the phone in his pocket, only to return it almost immediately with his apologies.

But that doesn't make such a good story, does it? And you're only selecting the bits of the story you like.
