Foreign Secretary completely unable to think of any borders outside of London. If it turns out his entire understanding of global geography is from a tube map a lot of his decisions would now make sense. https://t.co/DkibbHR4wI

Sure: the struggle for Camden independence, the whelk smuggling, the two-decade old Camden-Islington peace process, the decision of both to join Greater London in the 70s, the 2016 decision by Islington to leave Greater London and blame Camden for the mess.

PEOPLE OF CAMDEN. IT'S TIME WE TOOK BACK CONTROL.
Did you know that every week £350 of our budget goes to pay for HUMMUS in ISLINGTON?
That's money that could be buying pimento olives for HARDWORKING CAMDENERS.
A hard border would stop this.#Camdexit— Gaz Weetman (@GazWeetman) February 27, 2018

In conclusion …
"One day we will be sitting here not talking about Brexit. It's going to be fantastic."@BorisJohnson highlighting a new Brexit trend whereby the people who caused it wish that the rest of us would stop highlighting their chuntering f*cknuggetry.
