Johnson has never been much more than a part-time MP for the (gerrymandered) seat of Uxbridge & South Ruislip. He sought out a seat as close as possible to London, despite telling Londoners he would not do so whilst Mayor of London.
The only tangible benefit of Johnson as MP, to his constituency, is the money that George Osbourne found to refurbish the underground bunker at RAF Uxbridge and build the visitor centre.Gerrymandered: the A40 acts as a natural boundary within the London Borough of Hillingdon. How the Boundary Commission could allow this constituency to be compiled is odd. With the gradual completion of the housing in the new St. Andrews area of Uxbridge, on the site of the de-commissioned RAF Uxbridge it is likely 'Uxbridge' will soon have enough (potential) voters for the constituency to once again lie completely south of the A40.
I might write to defend the inhabtants of South Ruislip.
Those of Uxbridge can pen their own rebuttal.

But as we discussed recently, MP's don't have to do any routine constituency and backbencher work. He is shameless and lazy enough to just take the money and do nothing. It's not as if he's ever worked hard for his constituents. More of an issue is that they might turf him out - he's had the smallest majority of any PM since 1924, and now that he's damaged goods, I wouldn't be surprised if they chuck him, despite Ruislip being full of cunts (come at me @mespilus ).
