Lord Laidlaw

ONE of Boris Johnson's biggest financial backers has been caught out in a sex scandal.

The married Tory peer, who donated £25,000 to the mayoral campaign, admitted he regularly flies to Monte Carlo for vice sessions. He has apologised to his colleagues and has checked himself into a clinic for sex addicts. The revelation will be embarrassing for the Tories coming just days before the election.

CAMPAIGN CAPERS

JOKES about Ken Livingstone's mayoralty being below the water line are keeping London politicos entertained after City Hall was evacuated yesterday due to flooding. Water seeped into the basement - where meeting rooms, the cafe and media suites are located - after a main burst in nearby Tooley Street. The fire brigade was called in to pump out water from surrounding properties. It's definitely sink or swim time for Ken.
