Maybe Steptoe needs to consider the fact that Cameron seems like a weight's been lifted from his shoulders since announcing his resignation:</div>

It seems way past time for the Labour Party to split once and for all - hate-filled Trotsyist nutters to the left, creepy Blairite virtue-signallers to the right, with Andy Burnham forming his own party for the spinally challenged somewhere in the middle: the current situation is utterly farcical. Who was the architect of the new £3 membership rule that paved the way for this unholy mess? Step forward and take a bow, Ed Miliband: if you hadn't bequeathed us Corbyn, Leave might very well have lost. <i>Thank you. </i></div>

Meanwhile, I notice that - following an attempt to at least give an <i>impression</i> of impartiality during the referendum campaign - the BBC has reverted to type, and is now doing everything in its power to turn some inevitable short-term economic turbulence into a fully-fledged long-term disaster. Just to repeat myself: the dealers and traders who buy and sell currencies and stocks and shares and whatnot are, on the whole, a bunch of terrified, shrieking ladyboys, who herd together and stampede in the same direction whenever there's a hint of uncertainty - then, when a few of the braver members of their breed decide it's time to change course, immediately all race in the opposite direction. Obviously our state broadcaster has a duty to report these events, but it also has a duty not to eagerly fan the flames of public panic, or to use them for the purposes of anti-Brexit propaganda. The markets go up and they go down down. We know this. Try to reflect that in your reporting, and stop being so damned irresponsible.</div>

I was watching BBC coverage yesterday when that abysmal excuse for a human being, Alastair Campbell, was wheeled on. He was given an inordinate amount of air time to voice his considered opinion that Boris Johnson was "finished". Yes, that's just what I was thinking - the Tory politician who twice won mayoral elections in a solid Labour city and who a few days ago won a stunning national referendum victory, despite the other side having the whole weight of the British and European political and economic establishments behind it (not to mention the President of the United States, David Beckham and Benedict Cumberbatch) is evidently <i>all washed up</i>. Given such a dreadful record of electoral failure, you'd have to be mad to imagine that Boris had any sort of political future. </div>

Why Campbell was pushing this silly line is obvious: despite all his glaringly obvious faults, Boris Johnson has demonstrated on three separate momentous occasions his ability to transcend party politics by appealing to traditional Labour <i>and</i> Tory voters - Campbell knows that he would be toxic for Labour. The real question to ask is why the BBC allowed Campbell to spout this arrant nonsense <i>unchallenged</i>. And if I see the European Project's very own Gollum - i.e. the permanently besweatered Michael Heseltine - spouting alarmist anti-British nonsense from a comfy chair in the study of his no doubt immensely agweeable home - I will be... disappointed? This rather pathetic, obsessed old man has been demonstrably wrong about everything for decades, and I see no excuse for the BBC to keep foisting him on licence-payers. </div>
