*The consensus is that we have overtaken Trump's USA in the stupidity stakes(
That is a sweeping generalisation and your particular view jura.
If Trump is so hated and ridiculed you might be surprised that the betting is he'll get another term in office. He seems to have changed minds in the USA. I don't like him as a man, I think he is vile, but he is a politician who will not back down or be told how to think or behave. Maybe movers and shakers who confront problems, as Boris has done, are needed in government more and more? May danced with Tusk, gave away our bargaining power to the EU and put us on the back foot for three years of futile negotiations.
People who make waves, for the right reason, as Boris has done are needed given our MPs are hypocrites. They were elected on their party manifesto, they voted to trigger Article 50, to respect the result of the referendum - and now look at them trying to overturn the result at every available opportunity.
It's a poor show. A disgraceful performance. Thank goodness for Boris - and I never thought I'd find myself thinking that!
