10:38 pm
aware before that appointment was made that there were at least rumours flying around about chris pincher�*s behaviour, alleged behaviour in some cases, an boris johnson has come out and said, that was really more room. but that's what has been talked about in some of the papers tonight is that boris johnson himself had a nickname for chris pincher, that she was very handy and yet he was print shirt by name, pinch about nature, and that gives rise to the suggestion that it was a very widely known among certain individuals as to what kind of behaviour was being talked about. and again, it makes it very difficult for borisjohnson to step away, to step aside from this particular story. away, to step aside from this particularstory. if away, to step aside from this particular story. if we then start to become a link to it in terms of the fact that he knew what was going on. in the fact that he knew what was going on. ., , the fact that he knew what was going on. . , ,., , .,
