On that point, is it known whether he has lost any weight since his summer pledge? My instinct tells me no, as he's somewhat prone to shout what he regards as his achievements very loudly, and I've not heard anything.

I think I remember something about that at the time, but I recall thinking "meh, more boris bullshit", and forgot all about it. I couldn't really give a shit about his weight, though, and it's not as if we're short of broken promises of his to choose from...

On the other hand, he has certainly lost some of whatever gravitas he might have had over the past year.

'Boris' Burrow' tunnel to Northern Ireland expected to get green light
An undersea tunnel between Great Britain and Northern Ireland could get the green light as early next month in an effort to help unblock trade which has been hit by Brexit tensions.

Sounds as though this one will results in billions of tax from labour being spaffed to the private sector before it's ultimately accepted that the project is not viable.He loves the huge projects doesn't he. Perhaps he could call it the Garden Bridge
Triples all round.

More brinksmanship perhaps ?

I'm sure the initial design will show an ultra-modern hugely ventilated and well lit tunnel for an incredibly low price.

Nah, just more 'boosterism' bollux that he thinks might distract the Loyalists, amongst others. Everyone knows it's nonsense.

From an earlier Parliamentary debate on this issue in 1956...I'm sure the initial design will show an ultra-modern hugely ventilated and well lit tunnel for an incredibly low price.

The Irish have said they'll bore a tunnel under the Irish sea as long as only goes a couple of miles and Boris Johnson is immured in it

Tunnel vision: now PM sets his sights on a roundabout under the Isle of Man

As flights of political fancy go, Boris Johnson’s desire to build a tunnel between Great Britain and Northern Ireland might seem to be one of the most audacious.
However, Whitehall officials have revealed that one version of the plan worked up in Downing Street went even further, envisaging not one but three tunnels under the Irish Sea connecting in an “underground roundabout” beneath the Isle of Man.
No 10 officials given the task of examining how Johnson’s blue-sky thinking might be feasible quickly concluded that the original plan of a link between Stranraer in Scotland and Larne in Northern Ireland was impractical.
Stranraer has poor transport links and it would cost billions to build a high-speed rail link to connect the tunnel terminus with the rest of Britain. “It would have cost just as much to put in 100 miles of high-speed rail to get even to Carlisle as it would to dig the tunnel,” claimed one source familiar with the deliberations.
Instead officials proposed three starting points: at Stranraer, Heysham, near Lancaster, and one near Liverpool. “The idea was that these three tunnels would meet in a giant roundabout underneath the Isle of Man and the tunnel to Ireland would start there,” the source said. “Everyone knows Boris wants to do this so people were asked to look at how.”
That route would mean the tunnel was built south of Beaufort’s Dyke — a 32-mile fissure that was used to dump an estimated 1.5 million tons of Second World War munitions — which gets in the way of a direct route between Stranraer and Larne.
A second source suggested that the plan for Douglas Junction was designed to “highlight how nuts this whole thing is”. The tunnel scheme is regarded as “batshit” by several of Johnson’s senior aides.
However, in private they acknowledge that it is a “Fuhrer bunker project”, so beloved of the prime minister that it “cannot die”.
“Just as Hitler moved around imaginary armies in the dying days of the Third Reich, so the No 10 policy unit is condemned to keep looking at this idea, which exists primarily in the mind of the PM,” one informed source said. “The roundabout is round the bend.”
Nonetheless a formal proposal for a single tunnel has been submitted by the High-Speed Rail Group, an umbrella organisation for rail companies, to a review by Sir Peter Hendy, the chairman of Network Rail, which is supposed to find ways of improving transport links between the different parts of the UK.
Hendy, who ran Transport for London when Johnson was mayor, could give the green light for a feasibility study into the plan in the next few weeks.
“People think this is all a joke but it’s much more likely to get the go-ahead than people think,” another Whitehall official said.
