During the campaign, the Justice Secretary (no less), Michael Gove said the Prime Minister's "apocalyptic warnings" on Brexit would test his credibility if they turned out to be false, as he accused Mr Cameron of having a "corrosive" impact on public life (HERE).
We learned today from Standard & Poor (HERE) that the $2.08 trillion wiped off global equity markets on Friday after the Brexit result was announced was the biggest ever daily loss, beating the Lehman Brothers collapse and 1987's Black Monday stock market crash. So the warning was actually pretty accurate.
Since it was Mr Gove who dismissed these apocalyptic warnings as "scare mongering" whose credibility was tested? Incidentally, this is the man, suggested as a future chancellor under BoJo, who does not believe in experts and trusts his own amateurish instincts. Whose credibility is on the line?
