This is the best I've heard from @sajidjavid: moving use of his own story; the "not just Brexit" candidate
"We can't go for a short-term, comfort-zone candidate"
"Hard work, public services and family": what gave Javid his chances in life and the core of his platform

Boris Johnson on Brexit
* A key question is what 52% voted for on 23rd June 2016
* an essential source: Boris Johnson's 26th June 2016 column. First post-referendum account by Johnson (or any senior Vote Leave voice) of what he believed *in June 2016*
telegraph.co.uk/politics/2016/…
Others can disagree with Boris Johnson's 26.6.2016 account of what 52% voted for. Obvs 17.4m people had range of views

Nobody can disagree with his account *and* assert a broad consensus on referendum day 2016 across 52% behind any alternative account.
Boris 26.6.2016
* 'Intense and intensifying European cooperation
* Brits keep rights to live + work in EU
* UK-EU free trade & access to single market

"The *only* change – it will not come in any great rush – is that the UK will extricate itself from the EU’s opaque legislation"

Boris Johnson has mocked minority groups his entire career.

He called black people “picaninnies,” gay people “bumboys” and now Muslim women “letter boxes”.

Either he holds these prejudices, which is bad, or he pretends to for his own gain, which is even worse.
Meanwhile Boris Johnson has described women as “emotional...blubbing blondes,” who only go to university “to find men to marry” and who should be “pat on the bottom” and sent on their way. uk.businessinsider.com/boris-johnson-…
All of this was documented by his own hand at the time and has been repeatedly dismissed ever since by the same people who are now dismissing his Islamophobic comments about Muslim women, all because “Boris will be Boris” and he’s just one of the boys.

For now I'm gonna share the ads along w/context & findings. So take it in & by all means connect more dots.
