Boris Johnson: Does Private Life Matter When Choosing A Leader?

The front runner to become Britain's next prime minister, Boris Johnson, is facing public scrutiny to answer questions about a row with his partner in the early hours of Friday which led to police being called to his London home. After hearing an angry commotion, a neighbor knocked on the door, got no response, called the police and recorded the argument concerned about "the welfare and safety" of his neighbor. Jeremy Hunt, Johnson's rival for leadership of the Conservative Party, said in a piece for The Times of London on Monday that he was not interested in Johnson's private life, but challenged his opponent to provide an explanation to the public about both his policies and the incident. A day after the news broke, our very own Iain Dale was able to ask Mr Johnson himself about the incident - which Mr Johnson, dodged repeatedly.
