Boris has all the right opponents
8:03am
It has been a blistering first 24 hours for The Candidate. But who would have thought that Day Two would begin with the passing of such a significant Non-Electoral Milestone - the condemnation of Boris by the Guardian's in-house funster and Coffee House's choice to write the next Bond novel, Polly Toynbee? In a column of intergalactic joylessness that would have had Malvolio saying "hey, lighten up a bit, Pol", she takes a hatchet to Boris, claiming that he is right-wing (wrong), a Europhobe (wrong) and a sociopath (about as wrong as you can be). All this is worth many votes for our man. Her opposition was essential to the Project and we thank her for it.

If you really want to wind up Petulant-Polly, would it not be best to try and persuade Jezza Clarkson to run on the Tory ticket ? That might just send her over the edge and into the loony-lefty bin where she belongs !!!
