boris is going to hastily put a few biro marks on TM's WA, and somehow enough head-bangers will buy it in parliament. Then starts a new chapter of his legend and everything is almost reset to 2010 only this time flea olympics!

Good that Ian Blackford went in on Johnson directly calling him racist in the Commons and refusing to retract when Bercow advised him to.

His muslamic grandfather would be amazed to see him rise to being called a racist in the House of Commons

a few years ago I was reading about how Turks didn't even get surnames until the Ataturk era when they could choose their own and lots of people choose daft ones like Testicle and Stupid for the laugh. Unfortunately Boris senior would have been already moved to the UK by then, and I think a Boris Tasak (testicle) might have anglicised his name.

His real name's not far off though!

I like how 120 and counting Tory MPs are cool with the whole Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe think and the racism, why would they be impediments to leading the government?

I can remember FS boris with some hero talk about how her situation would be sorted soon and any additional misunderstandings with Iran would be jolly well sorted out next week .. erm about 2 years ago.

The neighbour said they recorded the altercation from inside their flat out of concern for Symonds. On the recording, heard by the Guardian, Johnson can be heard refusing to leave the flat and telling Symonds to “get off my fucking laptop” before there is a loud crashing noise.

Symonds is heard saying Johnson had ruined a sofa with red wine: “You just don’t care for anything because you’re spoilt. You have no care for money or anything.”

The neighbour said: “There was a smashing sound of what sounded like plates. There was a couple of very loud screams that I’m certain were Carrie and she was shouting to ‘get out’ a lot. She was saying ‘get out of my flat’ and he was saying no. And then there was silence after the screaming. My wife, who was in bed half asleep, had heard a loud bang and the house shook.”


you’d expect these grand old houses to be built a bit more sturdily tbh

Hang on is that the woman the Daily Mail told me last week had turned Boris into an avatar of Jesus?

Huge profile of her in the Times this week, too.

In recent weeks the couple have been sharing a flat in a converted Victorian house. It has been reported that they intend to move into Downing Street together if he is elected leader.

"Police were today called to an address in Westminster over concerns for the welfare of etc etc"

Larks a-plenty coming our way once this pitiful turd ascends to his slippery throne.

"she's been given credit for… his new hairdo"

Yesterday: Boris is the beloved former London mayor, who made a Labour city love him through his easy charm and wit.
Today: perfectly normal bits of London are ‘hostile territory’ where the former mayor can’t safely reside. https://t.co/4EfR241s4o

"I can’t think of anyone after the Crash in 2008 who stuck up as much for the bankers as me. I stuck up for them day in and day out." - Boris at the hustings earlier, I know he's just talking the dead-eyed membership, but gl running into a GE on with this type of speak - which didn't sound very prepared.

Churchill’s self-obsession was tempered by a huge compassion for humanity, or at least white humanity, which Johnson confines to himself.

Blinding double zing from Max Hastings

FULL TRANSCRIPT - Boris

lol @ Max Hastings coming out with Boris as disaster and yet enabling his career at The Telegraph - a paper where he could now not be allowed to publish this piece. 'Sleepwalker' applies to him as much as anyone in his elite rank.

the absolute state of this cunt

NICK FERRARI: [If you're concerned for your privacy,] why the picture today?

BORIS JOHNSON: Newspapers will print whatever they're going to print

NF: Where it come from?

BJ: What I want to do is talk -

NF: Boris Johnson, where did the picture come from?

BJ: The longer we spend on issues -

NF: We'll come to that, don't worry. We've got 20 minutes to do this. Where did the picture come from?

BJ: The longer we spend on things extraneous -

NF: Did you know of its publication?

BJ: The longer we spend on things extraneous to what I want to do -

NF: Is it actually you, or is it Ed Sheeran?

BJ: [Laughs] The bigger the waste of time -

NF: Where has the picture come from?

BJ: Look, I'm not going to ask the -

NF: Are you happy with it on the majority of the front pages?

BJ: Actually as I've been saying... I haven't seen the majority of the front pages

NF: Well I'm showing it to you now. Are you happy with that?

BJ: I think the longer we spend - I can't determine what the newspapers decide to -

NF: But you knew the picture was being put out there?

BJ: I can't determine what the newspapers -

NF: Did you know the picture was being put out there, Mr Johnson?

BJ: There are all sorts of pictures of me out on the internet, which, er, pop up from time to time -

NF: Did you know this picture was being put out?

BJ: I am aware of alls sorts of pictures of me out on the internet. And it is entirely up to newspapers to decide what they want to print. But the longer we spend on this -

NF: Did you know this picture was out there?

BJ: Of course I knew that there was a picture like that in existence, whether it was the decision of the, er -

NF: When was it taken?

BJ: I don't want to go into...

NF: So that's a state secret, when the picture was taken? When was it taken?

BJ: It's not a state secret. It just happens to be something I don't want to get into.

NF: You won't even tell me when the picture was taken?

BJ: No! Why should I?

NF: Because it's not recent, is it? Your hair in this photograph is not your hair currently, is it?

BJ: If I may say so this conversation is now descending into farce...

NF: This is quite an old picture isn't it?

BJ: I'm not going to comment on -

NF: It's before the haircut you had from the Turkish chap

BJ: No you're wrong about that, I no longer have my hair cut by the Turkish chap, I have my hair cut by a very nice person called Kelly or possibly Tamara

NF: When did you last have your hair cut?

BJ: You'd have to ask Kelly or Tamara, it was quite recently actually. Anyway... this is beyond satire... I am not going to comment on the antiquity of provenance of some photo that the newspapers decide to put on their front pages. This is about a far more important agenda.
