Cannibalism

"For 10 years we in the Tory Party have become used to Papua New Guinea-style orgies of cannibalism and chief-killing, and so it is with a happy amazement that we watch as the madness engulfs the Labour Party"

After apologising for any offence, Boris said he would be happy to "add Papua New Guinea to my global itinerary of apology."

Breakdance

"We can be as nice as pie, we can take our ties off and breakdance down the esplanade and all wear earrings and all the rest of it. It wont make any difference to the electorate if they dont think were going to offer a new and improved, basically Conservative approach to government."

Boris at the Conservative Party Conference, 2005

A ready supply of Johnsons

"Vote Johnson, vote often - there is a ready supply of Johnsons waiting to step into whatever breaches are left in whatever constituencies"

Comedy

"For all this taste for comedy, he has done nothing as inherently comic as Mayor Livingstone’s risible cultivation of the Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez. It should be asked: who is the real ‘joke candidate’ here?"

Boris in The Spectator, 21 July , 2007.

Fresh disasters

"My friends, as I have discovered myself, there are no disasters, only opportunities. And, indeed, opportunities for fresh disasters."
