Broadsheet Boris Bounce

If Oscar Wilde is right that there “… is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about” then the Olympics has made things worse for Cameron and better for Boris.

Every single broadsheet this morning is talking about and analysing the prospects for Boris replacing Dave in Downing Street…
