Boris's past comes back to bite him....

mischief making by a left leaning newspaper? or a timely expose of a man who shouldn't be about to become the leader?

the story's been around for years (in newspapers too, it hasn't been covered up). It's strange that nobody's mentioned it recently. I find it dreadful, but others presumably think "Hey, you sell a journalist out to a hitman, what's the big deal?"

//At the very least, come clean on all your skeletons in the closet. I’m sure this is just one of them,” he said.//

He really has it in for Boris hasn't he?

"...a left leaning newspaper"

The Grauniad? Never! Bit like describing the leaning tower of Pisa as "half a millimetre out".

There are probably many schoals of thought on this issue...

An irrelevance. 29 years ago he's allegedly given someone who was a friend at the time someone's address. Incident is clearly done & dusted and no doubt all know better now. Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel. They'd be better off complaining about Boris's tackling ability at football.

The Times - a right leaning newspaper...recently had a cartoon featuring a typical series of Boris faces. The caption consisted of him saying, "Prorogue? Some of my best friends are rogues!"
I can't recall all the names on the list which followed, but "Guppy" was certainly one of them.

The thing is, of course, that Tories know Johnson's gaffes and "tendencies"...even possibly criminal ones...and just don't care!

Yes, another skeleton was when he scythed down a left winger and was duly sent off...

The liberal left are getting worried.

The swamp may soon be drained.

I'm sure Boris can tackle just about anything

//t strikes me as being scandalous he could have possibly
been in league with Darius Guppy in a plot to get me beat up.//
No proof then.

dannyk, the conversation in question was taped and was leaked to the press.
