Boris Johnson's victory in the Conservative leadership contest at the end of last month means that several of my most long-standing bets have been settled. I backed Johnson to become the next Tory leader (along with five other candidates) in July 2017, followed by a bet on him becoming the next PM in October 2017. I also correctly advised you to bet againstJacob Rees-Mogg becoming Tory leader in February 2018 and tipped Sajid Javid and others to become the next chancellor in March 2018.
Betfair's decision to go with the later date is controversial to say the least. That said, it can argue that as a betting exchange it doesn't have a vested interest in the outcome if it had recognised the earlier date then those who had bet on Vince Cable being the first to depart would have had cause to complain.
