Boris Faces Mistress Scandal Probe

The ongoing mystery surrounding Boris’s mistress, her then boyfriend’s £80,000 donation and her subsequent landing of a job as an Olympic fundraiser just got a little more serious for the wayward Mayor.

Boris is now facing an official investigation regarding Helen Macintyre, the mother of his love child and the latest “love of his life”, and why exactly she got her job. The Standard neatly summarises some awkward questions that need answering:

What are the claims Boris faces?

That he has breached several sections of the GLA code of conduct. This states he should never “improperly confer an advantage on any person”, “place yourself in situations where honesty and integrity may be questioned” or make any decision which affects the “financial position of… any person with whom you have a close association”. It also states that he must “make decisions on merit, including making appointments” and “indicate that you have a personal interest” when one arises.

Labour have triggered the investigation and smell blood after Boris’s election promise to end cronyism at City Hall, something that so damaged the last months of Ken’s regime, though it should be borne in mind that the post was unpaid. Still, not sure this one can be dismissed as an “inverted pyramid of piffle”…

UPDATE : Whilst we’re on the subject, Guido has been meaning to mention for some time that Helen Macintyre’s nickname at Edinburgh University – given to her by a boyfriend – was “mini-cheddars”.

      How very odd.

      When Livingstone came in he hired his then-bird Emma Beal from her position as a seccy at the Evening Standard. It took years (more than four) before he admitted that she was in his employ as a ‘diary secretary’.

      Back in 2003 or so the site ‘Sod-u-Ken’ got evidence that Miss Beal was on £96k per year. The national press wouldn’t touch it and wouldn’t even report that Beal had a job with Livingstone.

      Question….Did Ken put the position of diary secretary to open tender? Did he interview anyone else for the post?

      And why did nobody – especially the London Tories – not get on Ken’s case at the time?

    CallMeDave about to find out exactly what the Americans really think of him.

    Oh dear. Looks like this lot are as bad as the last bunch of cretins to be in Downing-in-Debt Street.

    Any chance of getting rid of the EU so we can elect a decent government, instead of one governed by proxy from Brussels? Probably not. :(

    Hard to make corruption stick if no money changes hands! Who is to say that she was not the best person or the job or that she was directly hired at the Mayors insistence.

    Sounds like a desperate labour party fishing for dirt.

    Sorry, but what is the issue with helping somebody to get a job as an unpaid volunteer. The idea is that the volunteer *gives* their own time for free.

    angelnstar says:

    On The Politics Show , the interviewer said to John Biggs, who has made a formal complaint about Boris, “This may be regarded as a muck raking exercise for you to pry into the Mayor’s private life.” Quite.

    The lady was an unpaid volunteer, so this is all so ludicrous. How can you break regulations regarding volunteers, who surely are not governed by any? Boris is well ahead of Ken in the betting on who will win the Mayoral election, and Ken has been totally outshone by Boris, he has come up with nothing. No ideas, no inspiration, nobody is bothering to listen to what he has to say….

    So his supporters are descending to the lowest form of attack, smearing his opponent, it is so pathetic i don’t know why you even bothered to write the article.

      Nor would I trust Red Ken. Bloody spendaholic.

    The rules for politicians are NEVER NEVER applied. Other politicians will find Boris not guilty so that they can get favours in the future.

    That proz should have her ovaries cut out after having sex with the dirty Nazi retarded pig, Boris Hunt-brain. Helen Macintyre is a filthy dirty evil animal from the sewer. Olympic fund-raiser = dirty filthy evil slag having sex with blacks.

    But on a more serious note – it is extremely hard to visualise Boris humping anyone. the mind boggles !!

      Well, dear. Underneath the dishevelled appearance lies a charming, intelligent fornicater.
      I bumped into him in the fruit and vegetable aisle in Morrisons and, twenty minutes later, he had opened me up to my potential.
      The last man to do that was my Reg, in 1956.

    Tradition.

    It’s a lovely, reassuring thing in this topsy turvy unpredictable world we live in. With tradition, you look to the past to find comfort, safe in the knowledge certain events can be relied on.

    Take the outgoing of a traditionally incompetent liebour government for example. History shows us, as sure as Christmas, turkey and the Easter Bunny, it will be replaced with traditional tory sleaze and riots on the streets before you can say boo to a goose.

    Plus ça change…

    angelnstar says:

    The above is just a joke. May i say something sensible? Ken Livingstone is getting absolutely nowhere in his Mayoral bid, whereas Boris has had loads of brilliant ideas recently, and a lot of success. He is much more popular than when he was voted in.

    The only way Ken feels he can make some progress is to attack Boris’s private life, or to get his little lap dogs to do it for him. Don’t let him win by speculating about Boris’s private life, he is entitled to have one in peace, and why should you chaps fulfill Ken’s lousy agenda for him? Don’t, see this for what this is, a huge smear, which is most unfair.

    Did I miss these brilliant ideas you speak if? says:

    Yes, of course, the evening standard are kens little lap dogs.

    Eh?

    Out of interest, have you ever read the standard, or visited London or come anywhere near doing so?

    Doesn’t sound like it.

    Btw calling reducing housing benefits “kosovan style cleansing” and encouraging further immigration to London do not constitute great ideas.

    Stop making excuses for that albino performing monkey just because he’s a Tory and start thinking for yourself.

The last Quango in Paris says:

Mr Bryant and Mr Watson managing to make the whole hacking affair look like a farce – the more they moan the less I care about the whole subject! So partisan it beggars belief at all costs. They cannot rise above it ! If I was to call the PM a ‘liar’ I would want to be VERY sure.
