what has been the most surprising thing? >> the most surprising thing and maybe it should not have in a surprise, that johnson had no clue as to what to do. having withdrawn from the prime minister race is an indication , whichy has no clue means most of britain has no clue how to really deal with this problem and they're having to depend on mark carney, much as the rest of the world is, to soften the blow here. he do well by financial markets? >> i think he did well by speaking the truth. it probably was not enough for the financial markets on one
