Police were called to the home of Boris Johnson and his
partner, Carrie Symonds, in the early hours of Friday morning after neighbours
heard a loud altercation involving screaming, shouting and banging.
The argument could be heard outside the property where the
potential future prime minister is living with Symonds, a former Conservative party
head of press.
A neighbour told the Guardian they heard a woman screaming
followed by “slamming and banging”. At one point Symonds could be heard telling
Johnson to “get off me” and “get out of my flat”.
The neighbour said that after becoming concerned they
knocked on the door but received no response. “I [was] hoping that someone
would answer the door and say ‘We’re okay’. I knocked three times and no one
came to the door.”
The neighbour decided to call 999. Two police cars and a van
arrived within minutes, shortly after midnight, but left after receiving
reassurances from both the individuals in the flat that they were safe.
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.
“Police attended and spoke to all occupants of the address,
who were all safe and well. There were no offences or concerns apparent to the
officers and there was no cause for police action.”
Johnson and Symonds have increasingly appeared together at
public events in recent weeks. The former mayor of London topped Thursday’s
ballot of Conservative MPs in the party leadership contest and is now the
favourite against Jeremy Hunt to be the next prime minister.
The neighbour said they recorded the altercation from inside
their flat out of concern for Symonds. On the recording, heard by the Guardian,
Johnson can be heard refusing to leave the flat and telling Symonds to “get off
my fucking laptop” before there is a loud crashing noise.
Symonds is heard saying Johnson had ruined a sofa with red
wine: “You just don’t care for anything because you’re spoilt. You have no care
for money or anything.”
The neighbour said: “There was a smashing sound of what
sounded like plates. There was a couple of very loud screams that I’m certain
were Carrie and she was shouting to ‘get out’ a lot. She was saying ‘get out of
my flat’ and he was saying no. And then there was silence after the screaming.
My partner, who was in bed half asleep, had heard a loud bang and the house
shook.”
Johnson left his wife, Marina Wheeler, last year and began a
relationship with Symonds, who has been credited with revitalising his
appearance and approach to politics. She was part of his team when he publicly
launched his campaign for the Tory leadership earlier this month.
In recent weeks the couple have been sharing a flat in a
converted Victorian house. It has been reported that they intend to move into
Downing Street together if he is elected leader.
Johnson’s office was contacted earlier on Friday for comment
but had not responded by the time of publication.
