'Tories not ready for office' - FT leader

The Financial Times leader today uses Boris Johnson's record to ask whether the Tories are ready for office nationally. The verdict is not entirely favourable:

...Boris Johnson’s first few weeks in City Hall have raised disturbing questions about the fitness of the Tories for office....For most voters there has been little to show for Mr Johnson’s seismic victory. Despite his masterful election campaign, his administration appears to lack what political consultants call “a narrative” – a vision that ordinary voters can identify with. Together with the disarray over his appointments, it suggests a lack of readiness for office.
