There is something of concern that is likely to be overlooked as the Boris Spat Story evolves. The Guardian said:


When contacted by the Guardian on Friday, police initially said they had no record of a domestic incident at the address. But when given the case number and reference number, as well as identification markings of the vehicles that were called out, police issued a statement saying: “At 00:24hrs on Friday, 21 June, police responded to a call from a local resident in [south London]. The caller was concerned for the welfare of a female neighbour.


There might be any number of good reasons the police initially denied it: rights to privacy, for example, or that the person who answered the phone did not have the information at the time. But there are also good reasons why anyone standing as PM may not have that privacy as an automatic right, given they seek a very public position.
