He's brought it on himself though, hasn't he. The worry people have is that he just isn't "statesmanlike" enough. He's too much like Trump. Would a story like this have broken about Hunt or Gove? No. Doubtless he will still win, but the optics are terrible. It just re-inforces the impression that he is prone to gaffes.Little John wrote:Well well well...

Newsnight reporting that Boris Johnson's neighbour recorded the argument last night through the wall, and Johnson's girlfriend accused him of being "spoilt, and you don't care about anything, not even money." Can you Ãmagine if Johnson screws up his own campaign and we end up with *unt as Prime Minister?
This Johnson story is splashed across the front pages of all the newspapers tomorrow.
But hey, you suck it up....

Before Jo Cox no one thought that a protestor would hurt a politician. After Jo Cox some one bursting into a gathering of any sort and making their way, even only determinedly, towards a politician must be thought of as a possible assailant or worse. On that basis the way the assailant/protestor was manhandled was gentle. A body guard to some one as prominent as the Chancellor of the Exchequer would have decked her to prevent her setting off a concealed bomb or drawing a weapon. She got off lightly.
Having said all that I do agree with her protest and would defend her right to protest but you have to be very careful in the way you go about things nowadays. All the protesting and guff in the press and from opposition politicians is just political bluster and not worth spending any time over.

Trump delivers and that is the key issue.
We are not voting for a Pope but a pm.
Congress has blocked the wall but you can't have everything.
He also exposed the hypocrisy of Germany and other nato countries.
And had a standoff with, er, Mexico.
HE TOOK ON CHINA.
Perhaps most importantly, he was a part of a reaction to the increasing poison of pcness.
Oh oh, he reminded the world America is still the tough guy.

I dont know how much this incident was a stitch-up, but I fear Johnson and therefore brexit could be over.

Regarding the publicized row between Johnson and his girlfriend:
This is clearly an establishment stitch up, likely planned from the outset. There will be plenty of personal muck on Johnson that could have been surreptitiously passed on to his girlfriend to wind her up and cause a row on command.
Additionally, who the hell is this "neighbor" who took a recording through a wall whose auditory resolution was so high that every single word could be accurately transcribed? That, for starters, has spook written all over it.
The establishment **really** do not want Brexit to happen.

It could have been a lot worse. Say a gay mistress foreign national drug addicted spy. Just an angry girl friend? Think nothing of it.

By-election incoming: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-48720176
Usually safe tory seat in rural south wales (Con 20K, LD 12K, Lab 7K). Current MP says he will stand again after 10% of his constituents voted to remove him. "Reluctant" supporter of May's deal, because wants to avoid no deal.
Is the Brexit Party going stand, I wonder? If it does, then the seat is up for grabs for the libdems.
