The back-stabbing that has been around in the Conservative party since 1990 really caused this - Michael Howard, having himself succesfully challenged for the leadership of the party, started to get worried about Boris' popularity. So he sacked him. Great move. Now Boris will go down in the eyes of Daily Mail readers (the ones who didn't like him anyway), and go up in the eyes of the Sun and so on - those who normally wouldn't care. As I've said several times this evening, I doubt very much that Boris will stay down for long, and when he does he will have more support than ever before.

Intelligent, witty, classy... what's not to like about Studio 60? Bring it back!
