We wrote last night that Boris Johnson might be the next British PM; it turns out he will not run for the post. See a SkyNews story for details.
I wonder, did Johnson fail the gut check? Has he now concluded that as PM he will not be able to deliver all the benefits he'd claimed for Brexit?
Michael Gove, who previously said he would not run, has now decided to do so. So have four other Conservatives. Stay tuned.
Meanwhile the Express (U.K.) reports Home Secretary Theresa May, another of the candidates has taken a suitably "iron lady" stance against open-door migration. She says "Brexit means Brexit," no trying to have it both ways. She at least seems to understand what the voters want from their government. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
