I particularly like:

"[the phone hacking scandal] is a load of codswallop cooked up by the Labour Party" which was "patently politically motivated" and "a politically motivated put up job" and "completely spurious and political" and "a song and dance about nothing" which had been "whipped up by the Guardian and the Labour Party."

Boris Johnson is terribly concerned about wrongdoing at News of the World and takes the whole scandal "extremely seriously." This evening he described the allegations as "blatant intrusion," "callousness," "corruption" and said that: "Even if only a small number of people were implicated, these allegations have to be taken extremely seriously and investigated ruthlessly and openly."
