Well that MP had to resign for looking at porn at work - yet Johnson can get away with having a blow job from his then mistress at work.

Yes I think it was on a slightly different scale.

All the more reason for a resignation.
How many people would get away with being caught having illicit sex at work?

I wonder if he was cheating on his wife then, or maybe he was cheating on the pole dancer, or the violinist….

He was cheating on his wife, but probably the others you mention, too...

Matt Hancock resigned after a similar incident but of course BJ won't resign over anything.

I don't think that Hnacock's 'incident' was quite so ...er...'shocking'...

Yes I have heard that too. It's like an episode of The Osbournes.

Why would that make them pull the story?

The real reason why the story about Carrie being offered a 100k pa job with Johnson was hastily withdrawn from The Times is now revealed - they were caught in a compromising position on his office sofa ( think Bill Clinton and Monica L , or maybe think BJ). maybe you don’t want to have that mental image or maybe it’s hard to swallow. Carrie must have a strong stomach is all I can say.
