Rory Stewart

[George Hannah]

Time for his own thread. Just announced he's resigned from the Tories to play a different political role - Mayor of London perhaps?

"At the event, Stewart told the audience that his appearance “constitutes my resignation from the Conservative party”, before reading the 1982 letter to Johnson’s father, Stanley, from his teacher Martin Hammond.

“Boris really has adopted a disgracefully cavalier attitude to his classical studies,” the letter begins.

Appearing on a bill that also featured the actors Olivia Colman, Jude Law and Benedict Cumberbatch, Stewart read: “Boris sometimes seems affronted when criticised for what amounts to a gross failure of responsibility … I think he honestly believes that it is churlish of us not to regard him as an exception, one who should be free of the network of obligation which binds everyone else.”

As an aside one of Sky's cretinous political correspondents reporting this event thinks they have professors at Eton.

Well, that'll be the last we see of him then.


Until he turns up in the jungle.

pity, he was my figment of last resort - just the bleak realities on offer in the GE now. T'was ever thus, the triumph of grim experience over hope.

Jumped before he was pushed.

Maybe Dominic Grieve will ride to your rescue? Surely no way back for him now?

A cross between Talleyrand and Robespierre - he'll be too busy relaxing in his French villa polishing his Légion d'honneur.

If so I imagine his gob would hold the entire scrotum full not just a single kangaroo knacker
