Still not Boris’s moment
One other footnote to the Eastleigh by-election, about which I wrote yesterday, and about the response to which I have written for The Independent on Sunday tomorrow.

Boris, Popping the Sceptic Pills
Professor Tim Bale rather wittily described the Tory revolt over the Maastricht Treaty as the “gateway drug” to today’s hard stuff of “Better Off Out” Euroscepticism.
I have taken issue with my fellow Queen Mary, University of London, searcher after knowledge in another article for e-International Relations. I point out that the Conservatives’ shift towards a harder line [...]
