Toe curling politicising of the police today, and possibly the signs of a rapid disintegration of him and his party.
"Asked whether he would promise to never seek a Brexit delay from the EU, he said: “Yes, I can. I’d rather be dead in a ditch.”
But when asked whether he would resign if compelled to do so via a backbench bill expected to become law on Monday, he declined to answer.
“Look, I, just don’t, I really … It costs a billion pounds a month, it achieves absolutely nothing. What on Earth is the point of further delay? I think it’s totally, totally pointless.”
Good grief. Who elected this fool as PM ? Oh...wait...

This goes to what I said before - Boarish has been completely outmanoeuvred by Jeremy Corbyn, and before you get on your high horses let's not forget there will be 27 states with at least 27 negotiators trying to outmanoeuvre him among the EU, then all the people with whom he wishes to make trade deals will - because that is their job - also be trying to outmanoeuvre him and, you would have us believe, Jeremy Corbyn is nothing more than a popinjay, a clown, a rube.
Boarish's self imposed trap is constructed thus
He looks like a authoritarian, a dictator and a hypocrite for immediately carrying out a Stalinist purge against the people in the Tory Party who voted against him when he voted against a Deal under which Britain would already have left the EU three times
He cannot ask the EU for a Brexit extension - he would sooner be 'dead in a ditch'
He cannot break the law - He has stated he would never do that.
He cannot call a General Election because Labour won't agree to that until he asks for a Brexit Extension
He cannot resign as Prime Minister to avoid asking for a Brexit Extension because his replacement could simply revoke Article 50 as a means of securing a Second Referendum.
He's has completely trapped himself by looking only at the short term, the immediate and his own advantage.
By contrast Jeremy Corbyn
Has stood by his promise NOT to call for a General Election until a No Deal Brexit is prevented.
Has agreed another person could become caretaker Prime Minister should Boarish resign (preferably one of the Remainers that Boarish sacked and ideally Winston Churchill's Grandson)
Has created a situation where Boarish has split his own party, made himself look weak, hypocritical and stupid.
The longer Jeremy Corbyn waits for an election the better for him - the longer Boarish waits the worse for him
Boarish has pulled off the trick his old School Chum from Eton mastered, perhaps he has even exceeded his Bullingdon Club buddy's record in this domain - he has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory
he's even worse than May FFS
