  • Boris-Johnson.com has been a breakthough in political blogging, with witty commentary and an enormous community surrounding it. The new forum has this year enhanced the site and led to lively debate. It is a great resource for politically-minded individuals to discuss the events of the day.

  • I agree completely. It is one of the best political blogs there is. It is greatly enhanced by the quality of moderation - swift, reliable and fair. Unfortunately not all blogs, such as Peter Hitchens', can say the same. Boris Johnson obviously attracts the best people.

  • Boris Johnson's weblog is witty, informative, extremely well moderated and has an astonishingly loyal community! The recent addition of the forum has only enhanced the quality of discussion on the site, and it's an essential part of the political blogosphere.

  • Unlike the 'big' commentisfree and haveyoursay blogs, Boris trusts people and allows comments to be posted instantly. This makes for a better, more interactive discussion among contributors. Discourse remains firmly within the boundries of good taste, whilst wide ranging opinions are voiced.
