:03:26. > :03:32.said, will be haunted by thd memory of what happened on his 15th
:03:33. > :03:36.birthday. That he destroyed her daughter's life through his own
:03:37. > :03:41.stupidity and recklessness. A minicab operator

:04:50. > :04:55.the thousands of new homes he wants for London. Wow! That is like a
:04:56. > :04:59.blazing fiery furnace. A furnace where many Conservatives wotld like
:05:00. > :05:07.to send any other MPs thinkhng of defecting to UKIP. If they `re
:05:08. > :05:12.thinking of jumping ship, they are bonkers. Because this is, as I say,
:05:13. > :05:21.a great time to be a Conservative. So this is the role Mr Johnson is
:05:22. > :05:28.shaping for himself as he bdgins the transition of Mayor of London to MP.
:05:29. > :05:34.Still willing to break the lould. Can Boris the builder fix it for
:05:35. > :05:40.them? Is he the populist politician who can take UKIP on. Is he a joker
:05:41. > :05:45.who can make his party feel good about itself, without ever winning
:05:46. > :05:51.its trust? The question for many Tories can Boris the Builder ` what
