While recalling the incident in , he said, "It was awful -- I remember a deep, deep sense of shame and guilt. Johnson was then married to the second wife with whom he has four children.

A tabloid revealed that he had a four-year relationship with another woman. This allegation was refuted by Johnson.

Over his firing, Johnson said, "It is a wretched and lamentable day when people's private lives can become used in political machinations.

He said, "I can hardly condemn UKIP UK Independence Party as a bunch of boss-eyed, foam-flecked euro hysterics when I have been sometimes not far short of boss-eyed, foam-flecked hysteria myself.

Over this remark, Johnson said, "The part-Kenyan president has an ancestral dislike of the British empire - of which Churchill had been such a fervent defender.

He wrote, "She's got dyed blonde hair and pouty lips, and a steely blue stare, like a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital. He said, "Orientals have larger brains and higher IQ scores.

Johnson was elected despite being considerably overweight and considered by many to be at the very least eccentric.

He was the first British prime minister to move into Number 10 Downing Street with his girlfriend. During the general election campaign, he studiously avoided interviews with serious political journalists such as Andrew Neil , Julie Etchingham and Krishnan Guru-Murthy , even hiding in a freezer to avoid an interview with Piers Morgan , but found time for an interview with Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.

He also dodged a climate change debate on Channel 4, which David Attenborough described as "shameful". When, in July of , he was elected leader of the Conservative Party, and therefore as serving Prime Minister, the journalist Jonathan Freedland described this accession as "a dark day for democracy".

I'm a Jiffy disposal unit when it comes to leftovers. Apple cores: count me in. Fish heads: I'm your man, especially the eyes, yum yum.

My speaking style was criticised by no less an authority than Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was a low moment, my friends, to have my rhetorical skills denounced by a monosyllabic Austrian cyborg.

Get me a ladder. I think the brakes got stuck. To rinse the gutters of public life, you need a gutter press. But I'm very, very happy with the job of mayor of London.

They should cool their porridge, save their breath, put their shoulders to the wheel, all hands to the mast, and all shoot from the same trench - to mix my metaphors.

I want to see a figure like that again. If you can't turn the clock back to , what's the point of being a Conservative? My friends: as I have discovered myself, there are no disasters, there are only opportunities.

And indeed, opportunities for fresh disasters. I think I was once given cocaine, but I sneezed so it didn't go up.

In fact, it may have been icing sugar. I think smoking is a scourge and people should be discouraged from smoking, but actively to ban people from doing something that is legal in a big open space is taking bossiness too far.

The dreadful truth is that when people come to see their MP they have run out of better ideas. One thing you have got to do politically is to identify the ties that bind society together and try to strengthen them.

I have not been more robust towards female rather than male assembly members and I do not believe I have been remotely sexist.

I don't think it much matters, because the three are likely to turn out to be one and the same. Voting Tory will cause your wife to have bigger breasts and increase your chances of owning a BMW M3.

I lead a life of blameless domesticity and always have done. He is a mixture of Harry Houdini and a greased piglet.

British United States — [2]. Allegra Mostyn-Owen. Marina Wheeler. Stanley Johnson Charlotte Fawcett. As a kid I was extremely spotty, extremely nerdy and horribly swotty.

My idea of a really good time was to travel across London on the tube to visit the British Museum. I saw the whole [European Union] change.

It was a wonderful time to be there. The Berlin Wall fell and the French and Germans had to decide how they were going to respond to this event, and what was Europe going to become, and there was this fantastic pressure to create a single polity, to create an answer to the historic German problem, and this produced the most fantastic strains in the Conservative Party, so everything I wrote from Brussels, I found was sort of chucking these rocks over the garden wall and I listened to this amazing crash from the greenhouse next door over in England as everything I wrote from Brussels was having this amazing, explosive effect on the Tory party, and it really gave me this I suppose rather weird sense of power.

The selection of Boris Johnson Johnson, for all his gifts, is unlikely to grace any future Tory cabinet.

Indeed, he is not known for his excessive interest in serious policy matters, and it is hard to see him grubbing away at administrative detail as an obscure, hardworking junior minister for social security.

To maintain his funny man reputation he will no doubt find himself refining his Bertie Wooster interpretation to the point where the impersonation becomes the man.

Overweight and goosey-fleshed, he's the antithesis of an airbrushed pin-up. He resembles a 'human laundry-basket' and has a habit of forgetting to shower.
