Boris Johnson has lost a trade minister. The minister told a man who'd fallen foul of his father that he'd raise the matter in the Commons. The man told the parliamentary watchdog- which declared it a clear breach of privilege. Resignation followed. The Minister in question has had a succession of jobs with titles that tell you nothing about the work involved- if indeed any work is involved, is an Irish catholic, very right wing, was a mate of the Mrs Thatcher's during the years of her decline and is now a Johnson loyalist. He is also openly gay- and brave in his campaigning on gay issues. Aren't people complicated?
