Boris Johnson has cemented his lead in the collossal waste of time that is the Tory Party leadership contest.

Remember when the EU warned the UK not to waste any time before the Brexit deadline they agreed to put back to the end of October?

In the second round of Tory MPs voting, the former Foreign Secretary and London Mayor extended his lead and wannabe Brexit hardman who threatened to disband parliament if bneed be to deliver Brexit – Dominic Raab has been knocked out.
