Recent shock revelations show that the candidates for the leadership of the Conservative Party took more drugs than the Grateful Dead.
One of any number of double standards that might be found among the stories is how it is thought it might damage Michael Gove's campaign but not Boris Johnson's.
Both of them accepted last time that they were unfit for office as a result of their sinister maneouverings and stood down while Andrea Leadsom's crass belief in motherhood as a qualification let her down, too, so what has changed since then.
While they are very ready to set the record straight and (some of them) say how much they regret their terrible mistakes - forgetting that Churchill 'won the war' on intoxicants like brandy and cigars - and that it was all a long time ago, there is little evidence to suggest that some of them - and certainly not Boris- ever stopped.
Confusion, gibbering, incoherence. I thought they were tell-tale signs.
