Kwasi Kwarteng's defence of Boris against accusations of racism seems to be that he's been accused of that before - like there's some sort of statute of limitations in operation or a limit on the number of times you can criticize someone on the same subject.

Hunt started as Remainer then went crazy for the Brexit. Maybe Gove's crossed him going the other direction, I've lost track.

Sajid Javid voted Remain.

Kwasi Kwarteng's main responsibility seems to be appearing on C4 News, sighing and saying "Look..." in a condescending manner in defence of whatever shit his leader/future leader is up to.

Really, Tom?Last week he was pretty damning. Spoiled paper sounds about right.
On Boris Johnson, Clarke is withering in a way that borders on contempt. He says he was a “disaster” as foreign secretary, and when asked if he could be equally terrible as prime minister, he answers in an instant. “Yes, he certainly has the potential to be. Unless he suddenly starts taking it seriously. I am not sure he knows what he would do to get us through the crisis.
― Alba, Thursday, 20 June 2019 15:20 (four years ago) link

when boris is anointed and calls a snap GE with BP standing aside to give the CON’s a free run... do we reckon CONs win that election? or are they losing from column B (social liberals who leak to LDs) what they pick up in column A (hard case BP wingnuts)... and thus being hurt in the marginals required for success?

If Boris Johnson wins the leadership race it will be the first time we've had an openly racist Prime minister since the beginning of the month.— Ed Poole (@edwardpoole1975) June 20, 2019

"one helluva finale"
40 minutes to go in the final ballot, and it’s one helluva finale. Senior Gove team source says they’re confident they have half of Sajid’s backers, with most others going to Boris: “Hunt only beats us now if Boris lends him votes, and that’s a really bad look”.— Tom Newton Dunn (@tnewtondunn) June 20, 2019

The French version of being 'between a rock and a hard place' is more eloquent in this instance: choisir entre la peste et le choléra literally means having to choose between the plague and cholera.
