Boris boards plane with mysterious blonde

Boris Johnson was on best behaviour during a recent trade trip to the USA. But the minute his top aides left his side, out came the Mayor’s famous charm. While waiting for a flight back to London in the private lounge of JFK airport, Mr S’s spy reports that Boris wined and dined a rather beautiful businesswoman. Mrs Johnson can’t have been too far from Boris’s mind though, as he and his mysterious blonde friend later nipped over to duty free to pick out some Valentine’s gifts, presumably for his missus back home. The two were still deep in conversation as they boarded the plane together. Both turned left, away from prying eyes. Alas, Mr S’s spy turned right.

Mr S has reached out to Team Boris to try to solve this mystery, but they have of yet declined the opportunity to comment.
