Borismania

The Telegraph reports:

The Mayor of London blew into its conference in Birmingham, a hurricane of blond hair, media attention and other people's speculation about his prospects of one day taking 's job.

His reception – in a city not noted for its Tory support – was more suited to a rock star than a politician, with crowds of passengers chanting his name at New Street station.

Boris got mobbed – at Birmingham train station? That's incredible.

think people like Boris, because they know what they see and hear is the real thing – warts and all.

At the conference centre, he was surrounded by a scrum of cameramen and photographers so intense that one was thrown to the floor and required medical attention.

As much as I'd love Boris to be PM, I think his personality is better suited to being an Executive Mayor than a Prime – which is much more about leading and managing a team.

But if there are any resignations of Conservative MPs in London seats, the temptation may be too much.
