Is Boris Brexit?

I haven't been following politics too much today. I've been watching football and making music. That's not a euphemism, I have actually been making music. So I've been a bit sidetracked.

The main thing I've noticed is the continuing discussions about whether the Brexit Party will form an alliance with the Conservative Party at any forthcoming election. This seems like a pretty obvious route to Brexit should parliament fail to get it delivered. It makes sense. However, just because it makes sense doesn't mean that's what'll happen. So it's anyone's guess at the moment.

Obviously there's doubt as to whether Boris is serious about Brexit.

Is it his main goal and passion, or is it simply a hurdle he sees in front of him?

Apparently (again I haven't really had time to look) the polls are showing an increase in support for the Conservatives now Boris has taken charge. This is what was to be expected really. So it's no real surprise. The question is will it give the Tories a renewed sense of self-confidence and make them feel that they simply don't need the Brexit Party?

Boris has promised a lot of spending, with particular focus on the north. A policy very much copy and pasted from the Brexit Party plans. The cynic in me continues to wonder if the remain establishment will simply throw money at the country in the hope that everyone (or at least marginal voters) can be pacified enough that they just won't be that bothered about Brexit.

This is maybe being too cynical though.
