Things I have always known about Boris Johnson - he likes the ladies, he runs his mouth off, he stretches the truth to breaking point and he gets shit done when he wants to - things I have learnt in the last few days - all of the above

I didn& #39;t vote for Johnson because I thought he was the Pope - in fact to a certain extent quite the reverse - I actually thought that I understood him because he did all those things - he wasn& #39;t some fake PR generated cardboard cutout of a politician

But more broadly I voted for him because he promised to deliver Brexit and leveling up - he said he loved this country and would fight for it - that is more than most of the others said or did

So unless he fucks that up - unless he starts talking down the country I love - I really really couldn& #39;t care about who paid for a flat when it wasn& #39;t the tax payer or whether he offered to sort out some tax issues to get ventilators in a crisis

And I really really really don& #39;t care what was said in the heat of a debate or discussion - because you know what we have all said stuff that we shouldn& #39;t have - what I care about is results, results and results and people caring about this country

And I hate to break it to the many people frothing at the mouth over this "crisis" including much of the political press but I suspect I am not alone - in fact I would bet that the vast majority of people don& #39;t care - they want jobs, normality and stability

This is especially true when we look around the world at the terrible images from India etc and the gathering economic crisis& #39; in many countries - this is simply not that important - so yes it is all rather exciting but it is largely meaningless
