The mad as a brush but not very welcomein Liverpool train wreck of a politician Boris Johnson is the new Shadow higher education minister.

This man defines the word "buffoon".

It is now impossible (as if it wasn't already) that the Tories will win an election. My prediction will be Gordon Brown's New-old-new Labour, then a spot of Lib-Dem, then...who knows?

A quick quote from my favourite tory:

"All politicians in the end are like crazed wasps in a jam jar, each individually convinced that they are going to make it,"

Gotta love him.
