Lets hope this is the end for the obnoxious tw@t.
Surely you're not suggesting that Boris didn't really have 102 backers... Scurrilous accusation Elite

I don't like Penny Mordaunt, but she must have come under intense pressure from Boris and co to withdraw her bid (and had the offer of a top job no doubt). I'm glad she told him to eff off; his ego is too big to risk defeat, which would have been certain without the support of her backers.
