The Tories should hang their heads in shame: Johnson is the worst leader we have known | Gaby Hinsliff

The party created a monster. It should not underestimate how hard it will be to stop him, even after he is prised from power

When this nightmare is over – and it is over for Boris Johnson, but not yet for the rest of us – the Conservative party owes this country a grovelling apology.

It should hang its head in shame for foisting on us a man so wholly unfit for office that he had to be dragged from it kicking and screaming and threatening to burn everything to the ground. It should apologise for choosing a leader it knew to be a lightweight and a liar, and propping him up for three years at our expense long after its worst fears had been realised. But most of all, it should apologise for repeatedly underestimating what he was capable of when cornered, and how hard he would be to remove. Nor should it expect, having apologised, to be forgiven.
