I don't think Dominic Grieve has any chance of becoming PM!

Are you suffering from Boris Derangement Syndrome? | The Spectator
Another form BDS takes is to portray Boris as a rich toff who’s out of touch. ‘Boris Johnson would not live down your street, he would not let his children go to school with yours, he does not hang out where you hang out and he would not be your friend,’ tweeted a Labour MP last week.
A slightly mystifying tirade, given that, until recently, Boris lived in the same London borough as Jeremy Corbyn and Emily Thornberry and sent his children to the local primary. ‘Once you’ve been to public school, then you are from postcode POSH,’ wrote the Guardian’s Zoe Williams — an odd charge given that Zoe went to Godolphin and Latymer, a £21,000-a-year London day school.
However, the most bizarre manifestations of BDS are when Boris’s detractors accuse him of racism, misogyny and homophobia. This usually involves a Herculean amount of offence archaeology, with determined opponents sifting through every word he’s ever written to look for quotes they can take out of context and use as Exhibits A, B and C in the case for the prosecution.
A case in point is a column last year in which he used the phrases ‘letter boxes’ and ‘bank robbers’ to describe burka-wearing women. This has been widely portrayed by his enemies as an attack on Muslims and cited as ‘proof’ of his Islamophobia, overlooking the fact that he was referring specifically to the niqab and the column in question was arguing against a burka ban.
We saw another example of this misrepresentation last weekend when Channel 4 News asked the two lesbians assaulted on a London bus what they thought of him, having first explained to them that Boris was a ‘homophobe’ and a ‘misogynist’. Not surprisingly, they concluded he was unfit to lead anything, let alone Britain.
Oh blah blah:
37 lies, gaffes and scandals that make Boris Johnson unfit to be Prime Minister
Left wing newspaper doesn't support Boris. Who knew?
I don't particularly like Boris, but you won't see me crying into any beer (or rather a soft drink as I'm tee total). It looks like Boris cabinet reshuffle was basically him weeding out anyone who opposed him (or slighted him) and not so much to do with Brexit purity. Otherwise Rudd would have been out and Morgan wouldn't have been given a job (she's had so many Brexit positions it's hard to keep track).
However Boris now owns Brexit, so any successes or failures will be down to him.
Politics getting exciting again.
Boris got stuck in to Corbyn who looked extremely uncomfortable when being told he prefers talking to Hamas rather than the US over Iran, and Corbyn's flip flopping from antiEU to europhile.

Boris Assembles Most Diverse Cabinet Ever -
Boris’ new Cabinet is now all in place, and not only does it match Tony Blair’s total for the highest number of women ever at the top table, it also delivers the highest ever number of BAME Cabinet ministers ever, and – as Sunder Katwala points out – “as much ethnic diversity around the Cabinet table this morning as there has been in the rest of British political history put together.” It also contains the highest ever number of Leave voting ministers…
Need to know stats for Boris’ ‘Modern Britain’ cabinet:
Voted Remain: 18
Voted Leave: 15
Women: 8
BAME: 6
Wrong sort of diversity apparently.
