This is totally ridiculous as a news headline. Can't a couple have a row without the world knowing. I'm not a Boris fan but this is out of order imo.

Me thinks some people are becoming obsessed with Boris, it's not healthy ladies lol.

Do you think? Oh well then - that's it settled.

I am feeling a bit odd am I so wrong in wanting the person who is to run our Country to be of good character. Not someone who will not be open about their life and preferably happily married, family person.

Nothing to do with witch hunts or obsession, but everything to do with wanting the prime minister to be morally upstanding, honest, intelligent and dignified.

Johnson doesn’t fulfil one of those criteria

By going on and on about it in the media, it’s actually going to help Johnson in the long run as nobody likes a witch hunt
( and yes, it is that now) and nobody likes to think that having recorded a private row, it’s then sold to a newspaper which supports different politics.
Nothing to do with either calling or not calling the police.

Unfortunately, he is very witty and amusing and Hunt is very, very dull. He is the Wizard of Oz. Iys all smoke and mirrors with BJ

“Poor Boris” is not being “picked on “ by hateful remainers , he is being criticised because he is an
Incompetent liar who is unfit to be PM. Plenty of his own party think this as well.

Boris’s old boss

Is Boris's old boss a remainer by any chance, I bet he is.
I want to leave on the 31st October 2019 and Boris love him or hate him (I rather like him) is in my opinion the only hope of leaving the EU.

The point is firecracker almost without exception everyone who either works with Johnson or gets to know him say the same thing.

The only reason that most of the MPs who support him are doing so because they think he stands the best chance in the event of a GE and that they rather naively think he’ll deliver a quick clean Brexit.

It’s only starry eyed gullible leavers who believe Boris is the Messiah and can do no wrong ( after St Nige of course).

Whitewavemark2 Tue 25-Jun-19 18:33:06

Actually I think there is much less likelihood that we will leave if Johnson gets the premiership than if he doesn’t as he is so incompetent, lazy and ignorant of the whole issue.

Just as Tory supporters were rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of Corbyn becoming leader of the Labour Party, with warm words such as he was honest, down to earth, principled - I'd like to cheer Bozzer to the rafters!

Just to put the record straight, the person who contacted the Guardian wasn't paid, unlike some other newspapers who would probably have been delighted to pay for such a story. The photo of Boris & his girlfriend on all the front pages was very obviously taken some time ago - his hair was longer!

Joplin Tue 25-Jun-19 19:11:36

Another thing I heard on the late night Press Review on Sky news, she is desperate to get into No.10 with Boris & has supported him & been behind his campaign all the way. She's not about to let a drop of red wine get in the way - goodness knows what she'd put up with if the keys to Downing Street are within sight.

His team put out this photo

SirChenjin Tue 25-Jun-19 20:15:16

Has that now been confirmed crystaltipps?

SirChenjin Tue 25-Jun-19 20:16:24

Ignore that - I’ve just opened the photo and read it properly. Love it! gringrin

Regarding that photo, he wants to get off his bum and cut the grass!

Perhaps that's the 'wild meadow strip' rubysong! Good for bees and other pollinators.
