Quotes about:

• I thought Donald Trump approach on Brexit was a fascinating window into how he thinks.
  His basic point was that [David] Cameron should resign because he didn't read the public mood on the issue right. And that Boris Johnson should be the next prime minister because he did. That's a very different definition of leadership than many politicians have. Or at least say they have.
