I detect a touch of sour grapes, as she asked a difficult question of The Chosen One??
I work on the basis that that both Labour and Tory Parties have grumbled about her in the past. To me that suggests a good and proper level of impartiality....
Be interesting to see how Emily Maitlis handles him in the TV debate...
Me thinks you've been drinking too much god again.

Hmm, if you insist. In that case, I'll go with a family member's one-word assessment of Bojo after their paths crossed: 'ghastly'.It's a good thing that Max Hastings isn't a Remainer or we could be forgiven for thinking that he has an ulterior motive for that bit of character assassination... hang on, my mistake, Max Hastings is a Remainer…

That's a god send. With some of the nutters on here, I wouldn't want them tracking me down
Now where did I put that water repelling oil

Well, I'll go with my own judgement after meeting him, which is that he is very, very bright.

I suppose you can be both “very, very bright” and “ghastly”. Or, how does one prevent the other?

I wouldn't necessarily argue with that. I read his biography of Churchill and thoroughly enjoyed it. But intelligence is only part of the requirement.

Haha.
Heard Stanley on LBC radio a little while ago.
Hearing between the lines.......
Sounds like he's moved from being a Remoaner to a brexiteer.
Also sounded like he'd threatened Joe with dis inheritance unless he supports his brother.
Boris is the man for the job.
As the lazy bugger he is..... He will surround himself with all the right people to get the job done.
Not like Maybe, who went behind the backs of all her staff and cocked the whole thing up in her own image.

Presumably with sanitised plastic surgical gloves.

Certainly at one with the common man. And on here WF expects BJ to dismantle the current system. Do I laugh or cry?

I don't know, but I do think that we all tend to overstate the 'ghastliness' and other less than favourable qualities of those we dislike. He is, or so he seemed to me, a particularly bright and affable fellow; but having the ability to get on well with people doesn't necessarily mean that an individual is genuinely pleasant. It could be that it is all an act but, then again, it might not.
He is not my first choice, that being Michael Gove, but I would take him in preference to any of the candidates who did not back leaving the EU before the Referendum. It is a case of once bitten twice shy for, hypothetically, had TM done a fair job and had got us the workings of a decent agreement by last Autumn and then needed to retire on health grounds, I would not necessarily have been against another Remain campaigning PM, depending upon the individual* - but not now, my trust has been lost.
True, see above.
*It may surprise some that, Brexit and the EU aside, I like Ken Clarke and think that he would have made a pretty good PM. And there a few others too, including Amber Rudd; but not now.
