Will Boris make it as PM or has he ruined his chances now?

I honestly think there's a good chance a very small 2 minute argument, and an entitled extreme-lefty neighbour thought they would try and ruin BJ and called the police & contacted the press.

Indeed. There's this fantastic nonsense in Tory circles that they should pick him because he was able to win in London, but that was against Ken Livingstone in his declining (and blatantly anti-semitic) years and Boris was able to mobilise the suburbs with blatant appeals to racism. Presumably we will get the same when the general election comes with the most horrible reawakening of direct racism this country will have seen since the 50s from both Tories and the Brexit Party.

Labour desperately need to pick a new and tougher leader who can connect with the masses - not sure who that is though.

It's funny how he rarely mentions his time at Foreign Secretary. A higher position and more important for the whole of the United Kingdom rather than focusing on London but then again he had a rather terrible time as Foreign Secretary.

Honestly most people but Corbyn would win in an election I believe even someone like Ed Milliband.

They didn't make up the bits where she was screaming at him to get off her.

the neighbours are entitled trustfund Laborites. why on earth Boris is living near these trolls is an utter mystery.

The neighbours were so concerned for the safety of their neighbours they got their dictaphone out and rang the guardian, rather than just knock on the door...

He'll still win. People didn't care about him being a bungling idiot who got an unjust sentence for a British national extended, an unremitting failure as foreign secretary. They didn't care about his constant racist tripe (watermelons and "picaninny smiles" and the pillarbox comments). They won't care about this. The bloke consistently fails upwards.

You haven't read the actual account. He recorded it on his phone for evidence gathering as he was intending to call the police - he and other neighbours also banged on the door to no effect.

It does sound as if it was pretty bad and scary and not just a regular relationship row.

Its already come out, the neighbour is politically opposed to BJ, the speed he called the press & the fact it was the guardian makes me extremely sceptical of the severity of the situation and that this was a stunt designed to derail his campaign.
Who knows what happened, but BJ is still living in the house & the police seem comfortable enough that there is nothing to be concerned about. If it were a serious incident there would have been a police report the press could get their hands on, instead the neighbours took it upon themselves to muddy BJ's reputation.

i agree, no charges were made, no plans for further investigation and the police left after a matter of minutes.

Could there have been a small argument, maybe, who knows.

The fact the media cottoned onto to this so quickly and the neighbour had a transcript of the situation makes me incredibly suspicious, and the fact it was the Guardian as well...

The thing is, it at the least symbolises BoJo's complete failure to understand how his outbursts might have negative consequences. I'm sure he could afford to soundproof his pad if he had an inkling that his temper might just radiate into earshot of hostile neighbours.

It's her flat, not his.

The way this is developing, she'd better watch her back too methinks.

His SPADs must be pulling all nighters ATM.

The 'security risk' thing? Ironic to see this being used between Tories, it's normally reserved for chucking at the Labour leader a day or two before the general election.
