| Description | With little more than a month before the elections, and with Boris 12% ahead in the polls, the left are finally focusing on how to stop the man so many of them have ruled out.
Early attacks on Boris as a bungling racist toff clearly had little effect. They were a lazy effort which played only to their own side's already held beliefs. Even worse, they were a symptom of their complacency. No incumbent candidate, no matter how underwhelming their opponent, can ever expect an easy ride into a third term. Ken, a battle-scarred politician with a lifetime of enemies, was always going to find it especially tough.
And yet, when the left looked at their opponent, an incompetent bungler, a much-sacked man of letters, they just couldn't work themselves up to be frightened.
