SFAIKS Johnson had a privileged upbringing and emerged from Oxford with a 2:1. That doesn''t describe a hefty intellect.

If Bois drops out do they have a Hunt coronation or does Gove re-enter?

Says it was early this morning - surely if it was real it would've been headlines this morning

C4 news presente it as 'breaking news'. So either they're stirring or it's become more credible.

Crikey, it couldn't be that Boris is the ultimate stalking horse. Shafted by Gove and now he's elected Hunt thereby giving 2 fingers to Gove and avoiding the poisoned chalice of Brexit.

From what I've just read it was Boris arguing with his partner/girlfriend who he shares the house with and a concerned neighbour called the police as a disturbance, they came and left after both Boris and his partner confirmed they were safe and not in any danger

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 flipping 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 partner, who was in bed half asleep, had heard a loud bang and the house shook.”

Looks like the guardian will release an audio recording tomorrow.
Also Boris has said he will not do the Sky debate which is a shame

So a neighbour records the domestic and sends it to the Guardian. Only in London.
