Although his speech was book-ended with typical lame boris-baffoonery (just why does he feel the need?) I was actually impressed with his humility and fulsome embracing of new voters whose hand may have wavered as they placed their cross. He made a commitment to repaying their vote. Lets see! He did, of course, kick of his first 100 days in office with a tour of the north promising to improve the trans pennine rail links and boost the northern powerhouse. Maybe voters remembered that?
