Enda Brady: Bumbling Boris is a spent force — Britain cannot let him back in

Boris Johnson celebrated his 59th birthday on Monday in Oxfordshire and you can be sure there was cake and fizz and jollity. Perhaps a bumbling speech and a few mentions of a Greek god and a Roman emperor. Classic Boris, then.

If there was mention of a Roman ruler, Nero would have been apt. Fiddling while all around him burns.
