Extraordinary details of how Boris Johnson allegedly overruled the advice of staff to promote the business interests of his former lover Jennifer Arcuri and win her affections are revealed in previously unpublished diary extracts by the US businesswoman.

According to one entry, the then London mayor even offered to be her “throttle” in an attempt to accelerate her business career, claims that may reopen the possibility of Johnson facing a potential criminal investigation into misconduct allegations.

It's been a bad 10 days for The Clown. The Tory press will excuse most things but they generally get stuck in around stories like this and blatant corruption. The Mail have been all over Johnson in recent weeks (not in a good way for him) and even that arse licking pile of pointless pixels and paper, The Express, has turned - at least for now.

That said it only needs the No 10 press office to chuck out a distraction and the news hounds will be off sniffing something else. Although the Tory backbenchers and power brokers may have longer memories.
