The US businesswoman Jennifer Arcuri has accused Boris Johnson of brutally casting her aside “like some one-night stand” and leaving her “heartbroken” since he became prime minister and the controversy over their four-year relationship became public.
In an outspoken interview with ITV’s Exposure, to be broadcast on Sunday, the tech entrepreneur also tells the journalist John Ware that Boris Johnson has refused to take her phone calls at Downing Street and has cut her off before she could initiate a conversation.
Addressing her words directly to the prime minister, who actively championed her business interests during his time at City Hall while failing to declare their friendship, Arcuri says: “I’ve been nothing but loyal, faithful, supportive, and a true confidante of yours.
“I’ve kept your secrets, and I’ve been your friend. And I don’t understand why you’ve blocked me and ignored me as if I was some fleeting one-night stand or some girl that you picked up at a bar because I wasn’t - and you know that.
And I’m terribly heartbroken by the way that you have cast me aside like I am some gremlin ... He should know me well enough to know who I am ... Shame on him for not answering the phone.”

Boris Johnson will find out on Thursday if he faces a criminal investigation into his relationship with an American businesswoman while he was mayor of London.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is to reveal its long-delayed decision on whether to investigate him for possible criminal misconduct over his friendship with Jennifer Arcuri.
The watchdog will make the announcement at noon, after spending months on a scoping exercise into whether the prime minister has a case to answer.
Johnson was formally referred to the watchdog in September because he was the head of the mayor’s office for policing and crime at a time when Arcuri received public money and access to trade trips led by Johnson when he was mayor. Arcuri was awarded thousands of pounds in public money, including £11,500 by the mayor’s promotional agency, London & Partners.
Johnson’s office also intervened to give her a place on trade missions to New York and Tel Aviv with Johnson, after she was initially turned down because she failed to meet the criteria.
The IOPC has repeatedly insisted that it has received no pressure from the government over the decision, which had been expected before last December’s general election, or over its timing.
The watchdog has a duty to investigate any alleged criminal offence committed by a figure in charge of policing, whether or not they are still in office. That assessment has now concluded almost eight months after it was first referred to the IOPC.
Johnson has insisted that he acted with “full propriety” and claimed he had no interest to declare in Arcuri, who has said she was given no favours by Johnson. Arcuri has conceded, however, that the then mayor should have declared their friendship.
In response to a freedom of information request, the IOPC said earlier this month that it was still conducting its scoping exercise. In a letter to the social policy and transparency thinktank Society Syndrome, it said: “We are aware of the public interest in this matter and once a decision has been made, we will make a further statement.”
It has strenuously denied delaying the decision to spare the prime minister potential embarrassment before the last election.
The watchdog is understood to have reached its decision believing that whichever way it goes, it may face a legal challenge, such as a judicial review, from those who disagree with it.
If it decides against a criminal investigation, it will not be the end of the matter. A special committee of the Greater London Authority will pick up the allegations, its chair told the Guardian.
Len Duvall, chair of the oversight committee and a Labour member of the London assembly, said: “We’ve been waiting for the IOPC to finish. If they come back with a negative conclusion [not to investigate], it comes back to the oversight committee. We will look at the evidence and come to a conclusion.”
The oversight committee works to a lower standard of proof than the “beyond reasonable doubt” threshold required for criminal action, but cannot apply any sanction other than a public report.
Earlier this year, critics accused the IOPC of dragging its feet over the decision. Siân Berry, the Green party co-leader who is standing as the Greens’ candidate in next year’s mayoral election, said in January: “This has gone on too long.”
She added: “They should have made a decision before the general election. When there are big issues about someone’s conduct in public life and they are up for election for the most senior post in the government, there’s no real justification for delay.”
Siobhan Benita, the Liberal Democrat candidate for London mayor, said: “It’s already outrageous this whole episode was effectively sat on during the general election when there was sufficient evidence for an investigation to proceed.”

Probably better to let Khan persue him anyway as he will have all the documents.
Boris Johnson will not face criminal inquiry over Jennifer Arcuri
IOPC says no further action required over businesswoman’s receipt of public money and access to trade trips
Matthew Weaver
Boris Johnson has avoided a criminal investigation into his relationship with the American businesswoman Jennifer Arcuri while he was mayor of London.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) concluded that no criminal inquiry was required following an eight-month scoping exercise into whether Johnson should be investigated for misconduct in public office over his friendship with Arcuri.
But the London Assembly said it will resume its investigation after the decision, with Len Duvall, the Greater London Authority’s oversight committee chair, saying: “The IOPC was looking specifically at whether he committed a criminal offence. That’s not our remit and their decision doesn’t have any real bearing on our investigation, which will focus on his conduct as Mayor of London.”

Haven't the London Assembly got anything better currently to do with their time and resources?
( Flappy (Baphornet) ....you're still blocked unfortunately )
funnily enough crisp that's what people were saying when doris was flying the pole dancer around the world at taxpayers expense, 
From IOPC decision on Boris Johnson/Arcuri:
"There was evidence to suggest that those officers making decisions about sponsorship monies ... thought that there was a close relationship between Mr Johnson and Ms Arcuri, and this influenced their decision-making"

Vile behaviour to go running to the press and doing interviews.
Vile of ITV to be part of it.

I noticed a scratch on Bozo's nose 2 days back in the H of Cs.....hmmmmmmm ?
The lack of respect for the Office of the Prime Minister by these people is disgusting.
Johnson's behaviour has debased the standing of the Office of the Prime Minister !
divorces,mistresses whist wife fighting cancer,abortions, no idea how may kids,paying thugs to have journo beaten up, don't think anyone,s to worried about lack of respect for PM ,
Some disgusting people on this thread trying to talk down our PM.
Police say not case to answer.
She is just trying to get publicity by talking about a private matter likely because he ignored her.
It is none of our business what Boris does behind closed doors.

Unless I have gone mad I am sure there was a programe on this same thing back in November !
police say its up to mayors office to investigate if he broke his code of office, report is far from,notbing to see here
When I saw the title thread I thought immediately that Arcuri was gonna be exposed as a post-op, had 'em snipped off tranny,
or whatever letter or noise they're represented by nowadays.
As soon as I saw him when the Boris business was in the news, I couldn't see anything else but a big, hairy bloke after a shave.
At least I'd be on safe ground with Sarah Jarvis...I'll happily stick to the ginger gash

An unnecessary and politically induced enquiry. However, no enquiry when a Labour MP employed her druggie son at £43k per annum as chief-of-staff. There was another MP whose name I cannot remember who did something similar.
Just been going through some google images - I'm convinced that's a bloke!
Have a look for yourselves - I've planted the seed now, so you won't be able
to see anything else from now on
I must say...the surgeons have done some extraordinary 'jugular' work.

If I remember rightly she appeared on a news programme & the interviewer basically told her to get lost because she stonewalled every question.her basic problem seemed to be that boris ******* her then wouldn’t answer her calls.

I don't really think she's a bloke but she would nave needed a fairly sturdy Pole,not a flabby Turk.
PP - I knew there'd be a few who'd change their minds.
You're brave enough to admit it...though I assume slightly embarrassed about previous thoughts
