'The Conservative Party left Boris, leaving behind a sad and angry clown'
At best, his chance to become leader again is gone: he no longer has the luster and the circus that is the Conservative Party has evolved, leaving behind a sad and angry clown.
No tears for this clown as the conservative circus advances
I used to work with this woman years ago who was in the Bay City Rollers.
Like, really into them. She took time to follow them around the country, buying whatever they brought, etc, etc.
Tragic, really.
She had been there in the heyday and could never really let go.
I thought of her this week as Boris Johnson appeared to be fighting for his political future before the privileges committee.
Not that he reminds me of her, but the sad band of loyalists who came to see their hero did.

A denouement; the snake oil bottle finally empty.
That's it now, everyone suspects it.
A previously loyal backbench MP I spoke to said that whatever the outcome - and the committee seems willing to come down hard on it - that's it for Mr Johnson.
>At worst (for him), suspension means a by-election and he loses his seat.
At best, his chance to become leader again is missed. No one buys the deed anymore. The gloss fell away from him and the circus that is the Conservative Party evolved, leaving behind a sad and angry clown.
Always her cheerleaders are cheering - chef Nadine Dorries. Desperate.
It was a mock court, she says, and the result will be "shameful", "possibly illegal". Drop it.
