What will be next from Boris’ ex?

By Axegrinder axeblog

I recently asked for answers about whether Petronella Wyatt was the so-called “former lady friend” who kept referring to Boris Johnson in the Ephraim Hardcastle column in the Daily Mail.

No sooner had the ink dried on last week’s Press Gazette, did I open my Mail to read, in the very same column: “Complains one former lady-friend: ‘He said he wanted to have his cake and eat it till he was blue in the face’.

This was referring to Boris saying, whatever the outcome of the mayoral race next May, he wants to hang on to his newspaper columnist job with The Daily Telegraph and his career as a TV personality.

Well, over to you Ephraim ‒ we look forward to the next episode of events from a “former lady friend of Boris’s…”.
