The one gif that sums up today's politics (and it's lunchtime)

Today has been an extraordinary day in politics, with Boris Johnson announcing he will not stand for the leadership of the Conservative party.

The announcement came at a press conference where he was widely expected to announce a leadership campaign.

The former Mayor of London however, declared precisely the opposite following Michael Gove's shock announcement that he will be running for the leadership.

Political commentators have a rather difficult job, in these frantic post-Brexit times, of summarising exactly what has happened to the Westminster landscape.

We think that BBC News' assistant political editor Norman Smith did a pretty good job.

As Smith quipped:

Et tu, Michael?
