Boris Johnson appears fearful in latest PMQs that flow of ‘Tory sleaze’ claims may continue
It’s a tricky balancing act for Boris Johnson. Because much as he must be loving the mess David Cameron has got himself into with the Greensill lobbying saga – Johnson still hasn’t forgiven Dave for doing better than him at school and at Oxford, let alone becoming prime minister before him – he doesn’t want too much of it to stick to him or his cabinet colleagues.
And that’s increasingly becoming easier said than done, what with Cameron having put in hours of overtime to qualify as the one of Westminster’s least effective lobbyists. You have to work really hard to achieve as little as Dave.
