On the contrary, I think there was far more "clear blue water" between
Ken and Tony/Gordon than there ever could be between Boris and Gordon.

Perhaps in the past, when Ken was suing the DfT, but they seemed to get
friendlier as time passed, and last week we were treated to the
astonishing spectacle of Ken going on TV to support Gordon as PM. Even
by political standards, that was a rare display of hypocrisy.
