Crikey editor Misha Ketchell writes:

Every now and then life throws up a character too good to be true. A character like Boris Johnson – the dishevelled former Spectator
editor, Tory MP, father of four and Conservative bright spark who’s
making a concerted tilt at the title of Britain’s biggest dill.

Bonking Boris (BB) last hit the tabloids in 2004 when he was sacked as shadow arts minister for lying about his affair with Spectator
colleague, and daughter of a Lord, Petronella (“Petsy”) Wyatt. At the
time, BB was recovering from his first taste of public contrition,
having been forced to journey to Liverpool to eat humble pie over an
ill-judged attack on locals – in a Spectator editorial he wrote that they had indulged in too much public grief over the murder of Iraq hostage Kenneth Bigley.

BB
weathered revelations of that affair – and the tabloid frenzy that
ensued – with a mix of contrition, sardonic humour and promises to mend
his ways. It was enough to make a PR flack proud. Only it turned out to
be hot air. Here’s how the Mirror is reporting BB’s latest indiscretion.

SACK BORIS: MP on the ropes after fling No 2

Shadow minister Boris Johnson was facing the sack for a second time
last night after ANOTHER secret fling. The married dad of four
reportedly met journalist Anna Fazackerley for trysts less than 18
months after being fired for lying over a previous affair.

A source close to David Cameron, who gave the maverick MP a second
chance, said: “This time Boris has gone too far – David must give him
the chop. We thought he’d learned his lesson, but he has to put his
foot in it. He’s become a joke.”

Old Etonian Johnson, 41, will be roasted by furious leader Cameron when
he returns from a trip to China. With Tory sleaze once again hitting
the headlines, he is almost sure to be ousted.

Now the word “Boris” deserves to become a verb, says Yvonne Roberts in The Guardian:

Boris VERB to indulge in serial adultery in such a
way (ie brazen) that it causes irreparable damage to wife, children,
career and personal standing.

For the best Boris coverage you can’t go past News of the World, which provides the sordid details (complete with video evidence)
of Boris’s adultery in this extraordinary story: “He’s having it toff
again! Posh Tory MP Boris Johnson has been sneaking away from loyal
wife Marina to bed yet ANOTHER beauty.”
