As far as I can see, Boris has no firm principles. He just drifts like a jellyfish with the tide of public opinion (and especially his girlfriend Nut Nut's opinion!)
Mind you, I'm fine with that as long as he doesn't suddenly get it into his head that Remainers are in the ascendant, because he'd turn on a sixpence on Brexit too!

Boris Johnson is facing the biggest crisis in his career after a dozen Tory MPs sent in letters demanding a leadership contest to oust him.
A dozen Conservatives are said to have written ‘no confidence’ letters to the chair of the Tory backbench committee, amid growing fury over the sleaze scandal and the social care cap.
The PM’s leadership faced further questions after a rambling speech to business leaders on Monday in which he praised Peppa Pig and compared himself to Moses.
One unnamed senior MP told The Sun: ‘There is real anger. He has until Spring to get back on track or he will be in real trouble.
Tory MPs can trigger a leadership challenge if 15% of them write letters to the 1922 Committee chairman Sir Graham Brady demanding one.
That means 54 MPs would have to send one in to trigger a vote.
On Wednesday morning Dominic Raab, the deputy prime minister, was sent on media rounds to defended Mr Johnson’s approach.
He told the BBC: ‘The Prime Minister is on great form. The reality is people speak about speeches in the Westminster village, the gossip and all the rest of it.
‘It’s the job of Westminster commentators to pick up on one anonymous source from wherever they found it to criticise the Government of the day, that’s fine.’
Meanwhile Tory whips told the Telegraph there was an ‘assumption’ that no confidence letters had been written, while another suggested it was ‘the usual suspects’ who were calling for the PM to go.
‘It will not get anywhere near the 50 letters you would need, but it does cause angst,’ the whip told the newspaper.
