It's been a while, but John Crace is also playing a blinder.

Boris still needs to believe that saying everything will be OK will somehow make it so. His only goal is to make it through to the end of each day unscathed having maintained the veneer of acting as if he was in charge and appearing to know what he was doing. Because even he must know it will take a miracle to deliver on his latest promises. But that’s a problem for six weeks’ time. And in Boris World tomorrow never comes.

As voters have the political memory of a guppy fish its a successful tactic. Get through the week on some feel good guff ready to firehose some new lies by the following Monday.
