Forgive me if I don't take Boris Johnson's sudden conversion to feminism, on the pages of today's Telegraph, entirely seriously. Here's his long record of making sexist comments in both print and in person. uk.businessinsider.com/boris-johnson-…
Here is Boris Johnson reporting on the "top totty" at Labour conference who "with the fickleness of their sex are following the polls." uk.businessinsider.com/boris-johnson-…
Boris Johnson described women as "emotional" "blubbing blondes" who are often "collapsing with emotion" and mocked them by pinning a Pirelli calendar to his desk

At the ‘Can the Conservatives win over the under 40s?’ fringe where pollster Joe Twymam explains the policies that might actually switch young voters to the Tories:

1. 50% reduction in house prices.
2. Scrap tuition fees
3. Stop Brexit.

Conservative MP Ben Bradley says the party is “improving on social media.” In fairness he did post the most retweeted tweet of any Conservative MP ever. #cpc2018 buzzfeed.com/jimwaterson/st…
Conservative MP Lee Rowley says the party must “make the moral case for capitalism.”

“Labour have made the rules. We’ve got to change the rules of the game or we’ll lose and deserve to lose.”

At the Economists for Free Trade launch where they have supplied this handy guide to dealing with a no-deal Brexit. Glad that’s sorted.
They’re all here. Mogg, Davis, IDS, Boris Johnson, Baker, Jackson, Bridgen, Bone, Minford...
Jacob Rees-Mogg praises the two “towering” figures of Boris Johnson and David Davis for attending the event and then adds “and of course we also have Steve Baker.”

Boris Johnson has mocked minority groups his entire career.

He called black people “picaninnies,” gay people “bumboys” and now Muslim women “letter boxes”.

Either he holds these prejudices, which is bad, or he pretends to for his own gain, which is even worse.
Meanwhile Boris Johnson has described women as “emotional...blubbing blondes,” who only go to university “to find men to marry” and who should be “pat on the bottom” and sent on their way. uk.businessinsider.com/boris-johnson-…
All of this was documented by his own hand at the time and has been repeatedly dismissed ever since by the same people who are now dismissing his Islamophobic comments about Muslim women, all because “Boris will be Boris” and he’s just one of the boys.

Nadine Dorries: "If Boris wants to be in the news, Boris is the news, he can be in the news any day of the week."
