    So are his news reading days over?

    Difficult to say. If the mucky photos the teenager was laid to send him took place after their 18th birthday, if the threatening messages he sent on social media weren’t too sinister and if nothing else emerges now his name is well-known, he might be able to weather the storm and spin it as a redemption narrative then he might get a documentary out of it that’d clean his name up enough that he could be back behind the desk.

      If he’s not acted illegally then what should he fear? His private life is his own.

      Shame that the same witch-hunting standards aren’t adopted by the press when it comes to our former PM. Is that 9 children or as many as 14? (It’s ok though because Boris is a red hot-blooded “man’s man”).

        It kind of depends on the details. Also with a well-paid and high-profile figure like himself there may be a disrepute clause in his contract and, while he may not have acted illegally, the BBC may well decide that they have been muddied by their association with him.

        I feel there are many sticks to beat BoJo with and his sexual shenanigans isn’t one of the largest and weightiest of them.
