"Help! I'm being kidnapped by these two men in suits."
More proof (if it were needed) this week that David Cameron is just a *little* bit frightened of Boris.
In a BBC radio interview this week, Cameron said of Johnson: “He’s an ambitious man. He has a lot of talent. I’m sure London is an enormous challenge. I’m sure that he will want to stand for re-election and, if he does, I will do everything I can to help him whatever, role I’m in.”
Hmm. Cameron encouraging BoJo to stand for another term as Mayor…which would presumably keep him out of Westminster politics and mean he wouldn’t be a threat to Cameron’s leadership until at least 2016. Clever.
A spokesman for the mayor said: “It is not a decision for David, it is a decision for Boris whether he stands again … Boris has implied he will almost certainly stand, but he will just not confirm that at this point.”
Surely, Bozza is waiting for the outcome of the General Election on May 6th? If Cameron sweeps to power with a decent majority, he can forget about the Conservative party leadership and he may as well go for another term as Mayor. If Cameron fails to win, however, the Tories may well then be looking for a new leader and who better than the London Mayor himself?
We at Boriswatch HQ aren’t in the slightest bit surprised that Bozza hasn’t committed to a second term as Mayor yet – why do so when there might be a much bigger job available on May 7th?
“I’m sure that he will want to stand for re-election and, if he does, I will do everything I can to help him whatever, role I’m in.â€?
Unsaid:
“And if he doesn’t, I’ll bash his bloody head in!”

Cameron would love Boris to stand for re-election, no question. Next step would be the lengthen the term of the Mayoralty to 30 years…………………
I cannot imagine someone of Boris’s calibre ever letting himself be beaten in a debate by Nick Clegg. I cannot imagine anyone beating Boris in a debate anyway, but Nick Clegg? Cleggie? Cleggover? Oh hahahahahahahahahahaha
