Boris Johnson wins the vote to lead the Conservative Party. He may not be great. He may not even be good. But he will be fun. A health insurance boss has the dopiest proposal ever and if you underpay workers should you really ask for a 40 per cent pay rise? Probably not.

The $200k fine for celebrity chef George Calombaris is a joke, and how can you tell if your town is run by idiots?
