BBC News has just broadcast a clip of Boris Johnson responding to a question about whether he squeezed Charlotte Edwardes’ thigh at a Spectator lunch 20 years ago with a long and rambling reply about his plans to improve bus services.
Buses again, I swear there's something Freudian going on there.

ooo, scandal
Mary Wakefield, the Spectator journalist who is married to Dominic Cummings, Boris Johnson’s chief of staff, has denied being the second woman at the lunch attended by Charlotte Edwardes 20 years ago who was groped by Johnson. There was a rumour that she was the second woman referred to in Edwardes’ Sunday Times column but not named.

Gove scheming to take out Cummings and Boris?
While Cummings deeply unpopular with Tory MPs, there’s also a growing recognition - not just from more soft/remain ToryMPs - that Boris Johnson may not be the electoral asset they thought in the summer.
