You paid me well for it.
I am certainly not one without sin.
There is a huge difference between acting in the best interests of the UK and acting in your own personal interests.
Boris and I are very different.
If my Ex had Cancer, there is no way I would be having an affair.
That is so, so wrong and the main reason I dislike him so much.
It is simply not something a real man does.

Boris Johnson Facing Tough New Rules To Force Him To Correct ‘Lies’ To Parliamenthttps://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/ent...b02e74d2223224
Hoyle has thrown his weight behind fresh moves to correct the record after a meeting with six opposition party leaders on Tuesday.
The party leaders had written to the Speaker about multiple occasions where Johnson had made inaccurate statements in the Commons, including on carbon emissions, economic growth, nurses’ bursaries, hospital car parking, NHS spending, the Covid-19 track and trace app, and poverty in the UK.
Under usual parliamentary convention, ministers are required to correct the record at the despatch box as soon as possible if they have been found to have made misleading statements to the Commons.
But Johnson has failed to do so on a range of issues, including a false claim that Labour had voted against a 2.1% pay rise for nurses.
A spokeswoman for the Speaker’s Office said: “Mr Speaker welcomed the meeting and the proposal to ask the Procedure Committee to look into how perceived inaccuracies could be corrected. He hoped such a measure would improve transparency in House of Commons proceedings.”
The Procedure Committee said: “The committee will consider any request it receives to look at the matter of ministerial corrections in the new session of parliament.”
