People often ask me why Boris hasn't featured in the #brexitTapes (it would fuel his ego). Well let's give him an appearance in the #leadershipTapes

Here is the tape of him agreeing in 1993 to pass on the address of a fellow journalist to an old Eton chum so he could beat him up
GUPPY: Fantastic, but I'm telling you something Boris: This guy has got my blood up, right? And there is nothing I won't do to get my revenge. It's as simple as that.
JOHNSON: How badly are you going to hurt this guy?
GUPPY: Not badly at all
JOHNSON: I really want to know because
GUPPY: Okay, let me explain to you...
JOHNSON <interrupting>: If this guy is seriously... I will be fucking furious
GUPPY: I guarantee you he will not be seriously hurt.
JOHNSON: How badly hurt will he be?
GUPPY <interrupting>: He will not have a broken limb or a broken arm.

RAAB: I'm confused. Why?
JAVID: To make all the other fuckers look dirty.

RAAB: I'm not sure we should we be working together
JAVID: Well we're not the leading pack are we?

RAAB: I don't want Europe! No deal!
JAVID <interrupting>: Matt, don't confuse him.
RAAB: Why should I cooperate with you? I'm out near the front!
HANCOCK: Oh Dom. You've never done a Tory leadership race have you?
JAVID: It's like the Grand National Dom, but with more runners
HANCOCK: And deaths.
JAVID: And the frontrunners rarely win.
