DOES this seem like the behaviour of a man we can trust to lead the UK?
Photographs emerged of Boris Johnson with partner Carrie Symonds three days after police were called to their flat when neighbours heard them arguing.
It was a blow for Johnson – reports said he was being told to get out of the flat by Symonds, who, allegedly, also told him he was spoiled.
A new picture shows him sitting happily in picturesque surroundings with his partner. "Boris's show of unity," said the Evening Standard.

Some aren't so convinced, however – and began speculating about whether the circumstances the photograph was apparently taken in aren't quite as they seem.
For instance, many pointed out that Johnson's hair looks different, indicating that this photo may have been taken at an earlier date.
When Boris Johnson had the opportunity to thoroughly debunk this claim on LBC, however, he instead fumbled and equivocated.

Maybe there's something to the conspiracy after all...
If Boris Johnson isn't willing to even tell the truth about when a photo was taken, what else will he be happy to hide?
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
