There was zero criticism of him initially from the media nor his colleagues. Strange given that he was known to them initially as a journalist, the Mayor of London and as Foreign Secretary.

However, he was able to use his (alleged) “charm”, his facade of bumbling, yet good hearted loveable rogue!

It didn’t take long though did it for his veneer to wear off!

People all over my twitter timeline were screaming how truly dreadful he is, citing so many examples from his past career and of his complete lack of morals. But, of course, not all the electorate is on twitter grin

I think he got a lot of help from the right wing Brexit supporting (and most read) media. There was very little criticism of him in the press.

I thought it was interesting listening the various people involved. It was no surprise he got there in the end. Why? I think because he stood out as being completely different bonkers from anyone else.

Don't miss the Channel 4 documentary at 9 pm on the Rise and Fall of BoJo. Last night's first episode was remarkable and that's an understatement.
