Over the week we were away, we heard a lot of conspiratorial chatter about Boris Johnson having taken out a superinjunction to keep stories about an alleged infidelity out of the press. While his recent appearances in the papers have been inexplicably weird, word from legal circles is that there is no such injunction. That would make sense from a practical standpoint, as Parliamentary privilege is one of the few things that can legally render an injunction moot (and Boris has no shortage of enemies who would gladly chance their arm). Also, any injunction granted in England and Wales would be unenforceable in Scotland where so many of his vocal critics live – so it seems like a pointlessly expensive way to start a fresh new scandal. But it also squares neatly with the whisper network in Westminster that suggests Boris has been on better behaviour since one of his indiscretions came to Carrie’s attention last year. So there hasn’t been a need for one. Yet.
