"What do you mean 'I'm old enough to be his dad'?"
Bozza might not be the only member of the Johnson household to be elected to public office by this time next year following the announcement that his father, Stanley, has applied to stand for the Conservatives in Gosport at the next general election.
The seat is becoming vacant due to the current MP, Sir Peter Viggers, standing down at the next election after revelations that his expenses claim included £1,645 for an now infamous ‘duck island’.
BoJo’s 69 year old dad has local credentials after representing the Isle of Wight and east Hampshire in the European Parliament.
He also pointed out that he knows a great deal about ducks, as Ambassador for the United Nations Convention on Migratory Species.
Who gets custody of the duck house?
How appropriate; he’d be very good.
