Nor anyone I know, either. But the admiration for his escapades is universal!

Most of the ‘regular guys’ I know haven’t had multiple mistresses, had one of their mistresses have abortions, or has fathered at least one and probably two children with mistresses, although he has never publicly acknowledged the latter and only acknowledged the former after a three-year legal battle with a newspaper, and has been fired repeatedly for lying (once from the Telegraph and once from the post of Shadow Arts Minister)...
Bet most of us aren't in a position to call a part time jobs 250k remuneration chicken feed either, man of the people, regular guy

Universal? I don't admire it and I also think if he's capable of lying and deceiving those he should care for most what chance have the rest of us plebs got, honesty, integrity and honour are traits bereft in this man and they should be the least we should expect from any politician

The Tory leadership contest erupted in acrimony last night as Jeremy Hunt said Boris Johnson did not “deserve” to lead the country unless he answered questions about his “character”.
In an astonishing escalation of hostilities, cabinet allies of Hunt claimed that Johnson’s colourful private life meant he was a security risk and vulnerable to blackmail from foreign powers.
The foreign secretary rounded on Johnson after police were called to the flat the frontrunner shares with his girlfriend Carrie Symonds, after an explosive row in the early hours of Friday. Johnson refused four times to explain what had happened as the No 10 contenders faced off at the first of 16 hustings around the country yesterday.
A poll conducted yesterday showed support for Johnson had fallen sharply following the incident. His eight-point lead for the Tory crown earlier in the week had fallen to three points behind rival Jeremy Hunt by yesterday morning. Among Tory voters, when asked who would make the best prime minister, Johnson’s lead had slumped from 27% to 11% in the same period, according to Survation, who carried out the polls for the Mail on Sunday.

Senior Tories were quick to raise fresh concerns over the former foreign secretary’s suitablity for No 10 as the favourite to succeed Theresa May stonewalled question after question about the incident at the first hustings of the leadership contest in front of party members.
Quote:
Foreign office minister Alan Duncan, who worked under Johnson said his former boss now had a “big question mark over his head” adding that he had shown a “lack of discipline” throughout his career.
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you're back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key
If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?
We’ll that’s it isn’t it. Ultimately the argument within the Tory party membership is - or should be - who can beat Corbyn? If Boris weathers this perfectly timed storm and still has better recognition and approval in public polls at the end of the process, then the purely political calculation is that they must choose him.
Morning Madam, could I interest you in some lucky heather? Possibly a rabbits foot perhaps?
I'm afraid the voodoo dolls resembling politicians have all been snapped up by the media, but I'm hoping there will be a new batch arriving shortly
The Times is reporting there will be moves afoot to Vote of No Confidence a Boris Johnson led government within 24 hours. Based on a small number of Tories MPs being willing to do so with of two of them defecting too.
