I wonder what Johnson was so keen to hide on his laptop? He obviously does not trust his girlfriend with the information or images he had on the machine. To be honest he should confess if he was masturbating over porn films or images IMO and defuse the situation. His relationship is probably done for if he was hiding anything else anyway so what has he got to lose?
I can see why his girlfriend was so pissed off with him spilling red wine on her sofa though..my wife has never forgiven me for my own offence...and we are going back over 10 years...
I bet Carrie's sofa was a loaf....
I thought you blamed it on Trotsky.
That was the name of your dog wasn't it ?
wow (double wow).....I am so impressed Richard...I did discuss said wine/sofa problem here probably ten or so years ago....and blamed Trotsky who is still barking...
I am utterly and incredulously gobsmacked that you can remember....
I remember that night of panic. Naughty things, Communist dogs...
How many EU countries would be stupid enough to have a referendum and leave this kind of decision out of a national election? Even Le Pen and Salvini et al wouldn't inflict an referendum and EU exit on their country?
We had at a moment in time three utterly useless, clueless, political leaders...Cameron, Clegg and Miliband....all three of them are responsible for this debacle
Yes, it's very unusual for a government to call a referendum on something it thinks is a bad idea.
You only really get referendums like that in systems where there's another process that can kick them off, like collecting x number of signatures. If the UK had a process like that then it could have dug itself out of the treacle by having further referendums.
According to the Sunday Times his neighbours bought their's for £850k and it has previously housed council tenants.
Now we all have different housing preferences but Boris must be paying a fortune to live in some council block in Peckham with leftie lovies as neighbours.
That alone should be enough to question his judgement.
It's Miss Symonds flat. Boris got chucked out of his house by his wife.
Will he be our first homeless Prime Minister?
Perhaps Jeremy Hunt will be magnanimous and let him borrow Chevening again.
I think Hunt is correct to state that Boris is a coward. But I also think Boris is arrogant and out of touch by his refusal to debate his rival in the contest to be next PM. I think the advises around Johnson are misreading this and Hunt can exploit this massively. What has Boris got to hide? Even before this problem with his next door neighbours he was not engaging. He will be made PM on the terms the public dictate not the other way around....
If, and it is massive, enormous if, Boris becomes PM in July, he wont see November in Downing Street now. He has nailed himself to the mast and is going down with the ship:

It's incredible the things we remember from this site....I had almost forgotten myself my own red wine and sofa episode discussed here....its a long time ago because I am now sitting on a thrice changed sofa since Trotsky (snigger.....) knocked over the glass of wine....
I mostly lurk here nowadays....I usually check the threads for some pearls of wisdom...and it's nice to see friendly faces...

Memory is a funny thing, people can often remember odd stories while struggling with important and useful information.
Things which make names on a computer screen become 'real people' also delight me.
I would remind you I voted remain and accept we need to leave but in a sensible way.
Corbyn's inability to back a referendum puts labour in the dock as well and you can protest as much as you like but labour are complicit in this chaos
You don't back another referendum yourself? Or you don't sometimes...
So you condemn Corbyn for doing that which you don't do yourself, hypocrisy surely?
Also you may not have noticed but Corbyn has actually backed a referendum with votes in the houses of Parliament, it is once again your side (the Conservatives) that is causing the problems and then blocking the exits.
If you have a problem with the Brexit chaos then it is the Conservatives who deserve your criticism, they are almost wholly responsible for where we have ended up.
I accept ERG are very much responsible, but the agonies over a referendum by labour and Corbyns refusal is causing the collapse in their ratings to the Lib Dems and to TBP in leave areas.
I want to leave on TM deal or similar but accept the HOC may force a referendum or GE and it may well be the only way out
I reject the UKIP infiltration of my party but I only have one vote that will go to Hunt as I have always said I would not vote for Boris
There is no UKIP infiltration of your party. That is just an excuse made by the pro-EU faction to try and hide from the fact they have long been been a tiny minority in the Conservative movement.

Bye Boris. Thanks.
"He claimed the deal contained most of the advantageous aspects of the existing EU-South Korea free trade agreement."

And good to hear that Trotsky is still with you.
