Screaming AND shouting? Outrageous. You may as well throw in the kitchen sink. Banging? Horrendous.

TBF she seemingly screamed 'Get off me' and things were heard breaking. I'd call the police. He'll likely still win.

That is, unless you have the insane belief that shouting, screaming and violence is part and parcel of a normal relationship.

Define "normal".

The sex is infinitely better in a tempestuous relationship - and I speak from a position of authority on that one!

Some shortening on price for JHunt, however still x4 more likely Boris has it in the bag.

The only person that can stop him is himself, and as long as he doesn't start fistycuffs with Khan or set upon the housecat at #10 won't be stopped.

Max Hastings, his old boss at the Telegraph speaking as he finds

I have known Johnson since the 1980s, when I edited the Daily Telegraph and he was our flamboyant Brussels correspondent. I have argued for a decade that, while he is a brilliant entertainer who made a popular maître d’ for London as its mayor, he is unfit for national office, because it seems he cares for no interest save his own fame and gratification.

Tory MPs have launched this country upon an experiment in celebrity government, matching that taking place in Ukraine and the US, and it is unlikely to be derailed by the latest headlines. The Washington columnist George Will observes that Donald Trump does what his political base wants “by breaking all the china”. We can’t predict what a Johnson government will do, because its prospective leader has not got around to thinking about this. But his premiership will almost certainly reveal a contempt for rules, precedent, order and stability.

Bit by bit the issue of "character" is building from mole hill to a mound.

I've been saying this for years - going by his public persona Boris Johnson is nothing more than a dinner party raconteur. He's able to remember a few decent jokes, plus one or two latin tags to impress the easily impressed with his boundless erudition, and that's it. There is no depth or intellect there.

I guess what's happening in the UK and US is the ultimate evolution of the kind of reality TV that started in the late 90's - by putting people in charge who treat their entire existence as a reality TV show, with no consideration for the consequences.

HIGNFY has much to answer for, who'd have guessed they'd reduce Roy Hattersley to a tub of lard while elevating Johnson to some sort of jokey national treasure.

He’s in a bowl of hot water to say the least

Just gets worse and worse. The parallel being drawn now by a party the night before Prince Philip's funeral where The Queen had to sit alone.... oof....

The same Queen who he previously has been proven to lie to about the prorogation of Parliament.
