As a voter, I want to know what's going on here.

He'll get away with it, people like him n trump do!
Think his father would be a better candidate 😂

The 'concerned neighbours' having deleted their Twitter accounts, admit to contacting the Guardian. They are a pair of pro Corbyn playwrights, who are cross at cuts to arts funding. The woman of the pair is a pro EU American.

There was no concern for anyone fgs, it was purely done to get Boris.

Could it not be that they are both Left Leaning and concerned for their neighbour?

If Jeremy Corbyn was heard to be in a similar row you just know the Telegraph would be all over it ... stonking hypocrisy from the Tory pearl clutchers on here

scaryteacher, two people passing by in the street also heard enough to cause concern, and the tape reveals that there was more than sufficient basis for concerns.

Or are you saying that Tory anti-EU Brit neighbours would have happily kept quiet about all that?

I don't understand why people seem to think this is a plot by non-Tory voters to besmirch Boris - he's a gift to the opposition. To the average floating voter, even Corbyn looks palatable in comparison.

As far as I can tell, the only beneficiaries of smearing him are other Tories who also want to be the party leader.

Saying that, it is still far, far more likely that's it's a case of Boris being his usual obnoxious self and behaving in an appalling manner.

I don't understand how his fellow MPs can vote for him. Is the Darius guppy tape faked? The Nazanin story somehow untrue? How is it possible this man is selected by his peers as the best person to run the country?

No, Noeuf, none of that is faked, but he appeals to a section of the Tory party who don't think any of it is in anyway problematic. Unfortunately (for them), at some point he will have to fight a general election, and by that point he will have been in power for a while, so will have even more opportunities to diminish himself in the eyes of the electorate.

That is true and if the neighbours of Corbyn or any other senior politician recorded the row and sold it to the Daily Mail then I think of lot of Labour voters would be appalled and there would be several pages of mumsnet threads claiming it was an invasion of privacy.
I think whatever a politicians views, neighbours selling or even giving information on them to a newspaper is pretty horrible.

The problem with Johnson is that we don't really know what his views are. His campaign is completely character based.

You can't say "Yes he has had affairs but...", because there isn't really anything to say after the but.

If you don’t want the air time, don’t do the crime!!

People think that this should not be in the news as the policr took no action but should we know of the private lives of prominent people?
What if he was a headteacher (your kids’ school), his wife phones the police as he has just assaulted her and she is too frightened to go home. The police arrive and arrest him, he is held in custody for nearly 24 hours before being released as his wife retracted the statement. Should this story have been leaked to the press?
