Here's a great summary of some of the most two-faced positions taken by Boris Johnson on the subject of the EU, the referendum and the importance of the single market. It won't surprise you to learn he can hardly stay consistent from one week to the next.

And here's another wrap-up (with some inevitable overlap) of times Boris Johnson called for us to stay in the single market...

And here's a list of all the times Boris Johnson flat-out lied (I'm sure it's not complete and definitive, but that's the spin the article's put on it, so...)

Here's a Channel 4 fact check, busting at length some of the "facts" in Boris Johnson's resignation letter as Foreign Secretary.

Here's a BBC Reality Check from shortly before the referendum (May 2016) in which they stated he was keeping the team very busy, before listing a laundry list of stuff he'd made up about the EU.

Here's Boris Johnson engaged in a bit of dog-whistle racism against then President Barack Obama, nominally about a (false - of course) story about a missing bust of Winston Churchill in the White House.

Here's the Telegraph defending a recent Boris Johnson lie about "no deal" being the most popular Brexit option, mounting the truly bizarre defense that it was ok to print even though it was a known lie because it was "comically polemic".

Here's a detailed look at the lies Boris Johnson told about Turkey during the EU referendum (i.e. all the things he later claimed he said nothing about at all)

And then there was that jolly jape when he described Hillary Clinton (then a presidential hopeful) as a "sadistic nurse in a mental hospital." Boy did they find that a thigh-slapper in Washington...

Here's Vanity Fair's take on the walking lie-spewer: "When it comes to barefaced untruth and witless inconsistency, there is perhaps only one politician in the Western world who approaches the level of Donald Trump: Boris Johnson"

And the time BJ suggested UKIP defectors, well... "And I have read that there are some people - probably the type who are thinking of defecting to Ukip - who present themselves at A&E with barely credible injuries sustained through vacuum cleaner abuse."

Then of course there is the Mother of All Whoppers, the constantly-repeated claim that the UK sends £350 million a week to the EU. The Statistics Authority had to spank Boris Johnson over that one... (and it's currently the subject of a court case)

But although he's mainly a collection of lies held together by flesh, there are other sinister facets to Boris Johnson. Here he is talking (in guarded terms) about ways the UK could rip up environmental protections post-Brexit.

Amber Rudd skewered him beautifully during the referendum campaign: "He's the life and soul of the party, but he's not the man you want driving you home at the end of the evening."
