Iain Dale manages to report on Boris Johnson’s interview in GQ with Piers Morgan without mentioning his claim that when he tried cocaine “it achieved no pharmacological, psychotropic or any other effect on me whatsoever.” Hmmm. Cocaine makes you over-confident, prone to babbling nonsense and as randy as hell. Are you sure it had no effect Boris?

He admits to smoking dope in his school days. Was everybody at Eton stoned in the 80s?
