Spluttering Boris Johnson unable to deny photo with partner Carrie Symonds was staged when repeatedly asked on live radio
Boris Johnson has refused to deny that a photo of him apparently making up with his girlfriend Carrie Symonds was staged.
The Tory leadership favourite blocked multiple questions about whether he knew how the snap, of the pair holding hands in the Sussex countryside, ended up in newspapers.
The photo emerged on Monday, in what was widely seen as an attempt to squash suggestions that they had split – following their noisy altercation last week, which led to the police being called.
Quizzed, on LBC radio, if he knew the photo was being released, Mr Johnson replied: “There are all sorts of pictures of me on the internet that pop up from time to time
“It is entirely up to newspapers to decide what they want to print.”
