Clearly, Boris is playing the long game. I imagine that (insert Labour person here) is boiling in fury while the honeymoon period is probably ending, perhaps this is where Boris activates his "EU Renegotiation then Referendum" card to prevent his public execution. Boris isn't exactly the type to get misty-eyed over Britain's place in Europe and all that, even his main competition will be signing on that point, it appears that Boristopia may be here to stay unless Gove can stop his internal battle between his Edinburgh roots and Aberdeen upbringing.
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, I'm taking the decision to say now that I won't be able to make the original deadline of this TL, and as such it won't be a 'proper' TLIAD. I'm going to be busy with real life this evening and rather than rush out the rest of the TL now, I'd like to take a bit more time over it. I will try and get the rest of the updates out late tonight - the story is already wrapping up, as I don't like pushing 'future' elements of these TLs too far.
Please keep your comments coming, the nature of these things is that they're made up somewhat on the fly and hearing what people think so far is good brain-fuel.
Thank you all for reading so far and for your kind words.

A fun series of updates today. The outcome is almost enough to make me feel sorry for Cameron. I didn't initially twig that Boris was doing his best to throw the Scottish referendum, but I did get there long before Gove did.
I keep expecting the wheels to come off Boris's wagon, though he seems determined to keep it going through sheer personality.
I really did love the Paxman interview and, though I'm not Boris's biggest fan, I almost found myself cheering him on during that scene.
I'm a bit unclear on why Labour and/or the LibDems decided to vote no confidence in the government though I think I can just about understand. The polls must have been dire for them if Boris was willing to risk it, and I suppose they must have calculated that keeping the government in would have hurt them even worse. I might have been tempted to try and keep them in if I'd been Miliband to see if things improved with time, although it would have looked very odd for the government to have no confidence in itself while the opposition does have confidence in them. That would actually be an interesting thing to see.
Well done on getting so much done so far, and don't worry about not meeting the time limit. Quality is more important than speed, and this has been quality.

While that might be a good move, I don't think Meadow could stomach it (unless he decides to use his position to undermine Johnson).
Would the ulcers and self hatred make up for an exciting job and money?
Probably not
Oh thank God, an escape, rejoice! Really though this is wonderful, although what was Boris at? A Yes rally?
I'm pretty sure it was either that or (more likely given the hostile crowd) a debate or open-air meeting open to whoever wants to come along.
There are Better Together folk there it probably is an open event, although I would like to see him debate Salmond.
I wouldn't put it past him though.
Thank you all so much for such kind words. I'm leaving London now and should be able to get an update out tonight when I get in at about quarter to 11.
Will people be reading a lot tonight or tomorrow? I'd like to get some updates out during the day tomorrow but don't want to fire them into a wall of silence as everyone's at work!
