Not even PM yet, but already Johnson is toxifying national debate. Seeing the manner in which normally fairly reasonable people are jumping to his defence today is extremely dispiriting.
If people are worried about a woman's safety, they should call the police. If they think that a man trying to become prime minister might be responsible for that, they should tell a newspaper.
If your response to that situation is to criticise them rather than ask questions about the incident, then there's a problem.
This could be a case of a couple simply arguing noisily, or it could be something more serious. But either way, the right response is to ask questions about it, not to attack those who were concerned and took action.
