Journalists are like these lions I read about in Botswana that attack elephants for some reason.
Boris Johnson
Boris Johnson tells This Week about the week in Bournemouth where he upstaged his party's new leader.

The first rule of media management at conference is: keep the hacks happy with some red meat.

Telling them to wait a year or two for some policies is like putting them on a vegetarian diet.

So no surprises that the starving media hounded and hunted down that succulent Tory beast: Boris Johnson, the only man brave enough to take on Jamie Oliver and support these brave mums pushing pies through the railings of our schools.

Who better, then, to provide our Round Up? Boris' video diary ranges from the new Tory logo ("the wonderful new bit of broccoli"), New Labour ("this zombie government"), Gordon Brown ("basically a gloomy socialistic interfering kind of guy") and his friends in the media ("like these lions I read about in Botswana that attack elephants for some reason").
