Whenever something happens to Boris Johnson, people say to me with a merry smile, "You'll have to do a new chapter of your book."As it happens, I've just written a new chapter of my life of Johnson ("Boris - the Rise of Boris Johnson", Pocket Books, £7.99), serialised in the Telegraph and now available from quite a number of good bookshops.But I have no intention of writing another new chapter eac...

Many observers have taken the six-month anniversary of Boris Johnson's election to pass preliminary judgment on his mayoralty. How do you rate his performance?

Last month I blogged about some of the extravagant costs run up by London Mayor Boris Johnson for one of his public meetings. Tory Troll’s more detailed story was picked by the Daily Mail, who in turn have flushed out a rather weak defence from Boris’s team. I particularly like the reference to a 15 minutes

Anyone else remember this particular piece of spin published in the God's honest Daily Mail last month?

Last month disturbing evidence of Tory plans to clone an army of Boris Johnsons emerged. It seems they are progressing worryingly fast.

He's completely out of touch with reality. "Boris Johnson has two jobs, earning him £400,000 a year combined, so it is little wonder that he is so out of touch about ...

While helping to clear up the River Pool in Lewisham, south-east London, he tripped and fell in, getting wet up to around his chest, then stumbled away. Mr Johnson was helped to his feet by volunteers who he was helping remove li...

Ken Livingstone on the latest rat to desert Boris' ship... "Tim Parker was supposed to be the cornerstone of Boris Johnson's administration. His exit after just a couple of months in fact confirms the chaos which has existed in Boris Johnson's administration since day one.
