My very reliable source on the inside at Conservative Party HQ tells me that they're convinced Boris will step down as soon as he can get Brexit sorted. He's seen what's coming down the line and doesn't want anything to do with it. Rishi is favourite to take over and he's apparently kacking his pants at the prospect of having to take responsibilty for the financial ****-storm soon to descend on the government, as the hand outs can't go on forever, and then a start has to be made on paying back the billions borrowed with a devastated economy and the subsequent vastly reduced tax take.

He said that the general mood at HQ was such that they'd welcome a general election and actively try to lose it, then let Labour try to sort the mess out. This made me smile, it was something me and Sub were joking about only a couple of days ago.
