Uh oh, wonder what the old boy has been up to. What's the betting that a sunday tabloid was about to run a story about him?

edit - Sky have updated the link and indeed a tabloid is running a story on him tomorrow :D

Re: Boris Johnson sacked
 

supposedly he had an affair with his secretary, according to the Daily Mirror. might have something to do with it...naughty boy! :D

dear god

Re: Boris Johnson sacked
 

if the affair is the reason for the sacking, then the sunday newspapers are a bit slow. the daily mirror reported it 2 weeks ago!

unless he's been up to something else! :rolleyes:

Re: Boris Johnson sacked
 

The link says he was sacked not over the allegations but because he did what all good polititians do, he lied to cover his tracks.

Let's just hope his excuse wasn't that he was "chasing a squirrel" (a la Ron Davies).

Oh no.....

Why is it all politicians I like end up getting the sack? :(

Re: Boris Johnson sacked
 

I didn't like him anyway.

Re: Boris Johnson sacked
 

Who ?

Re: Boris Johnson sacked
 

A front bencher getting sacked for having an affair? Must be the Tories!
You wouldn't catch labour sacking someone for that now would you Mr Cook?

I think Michael Howard has realised better than John Major the damage sleaze can do to your party.

I welcome the removal of such MPs. It's about time we had MPs who can set a good example for a change.There's far too much corruption in Parliament, not to mention Brussels.

Time we had effective MP's with integrity and honesty, who put the people's interests before their own.

Re: Boris Johnson sacked
 

Do/Can such MP's exist?

Re: Boris Johnson sacked
 

Totally agree, although I'd much rather my MP's were screwing over their secretaries than screwing over the country!

Re: Boris Johnson sacked
 

After his Liverpool gaff I get the feeling that someone has dug out this affair as a good excuse to relieve him of his position. I doubt very much if he is the only MP that is dabbling away from home, just the only one stupid enough to keep making crass mistakes in a very public way which do nothing but embarrass his supporters and party.

Re: Boris Johnson sacked
 

I really don't think the Tories can afford to lose such a well liked and charismatic MP.

He should join the FA, they are always on the game there
