No one is buying ‘staged’ pictures of Boris and Carrie in Sussex field
Boris Johnson and his girlfriend have been pictured together for the first time since they had a ‘screaming row’ and police were called to their flat.
The Tory leadership front-runner, 55, and Carry Symonds, 31, can be seen in newly released images – said to be from yesterday – looking smitten in a Sussex field.
This comes after neighbours heard ‘plates smashing’ and Carrie shouting ‘get off me, get out’ at the home they share in London on Friday.
But people are not buying the leaked ‘loved up’ photos and said they appear to be staged to save Boris’ bid for No 10.
Many even insisted Boris’ haircut in the intimate snaps proves they were taken some time ago.

I’m told by the Boris Johnson campaign that the picture is genuinely from Sunday.
Here – just to pass the time – is what Johnson’s hair looked like on Saturday so everyone can compare and contrast

Writer Michael Moran said on Twitter: ‘In the Sussex countryside. Where someone has thoughtfully left a complete set of garden furniture.
‘Uncredited photos, suggesting that no pap agency was involved. Completely spontaneous & not staged at all.’
This comes despite a friend of the couple telling MailOnline Boris and Carrie are still ‘very much in love’ after the late-night row.
They even added that the potential new British prime minister wants to marry Carrie ‘as soon as the time is right’ and his divorce from second wife Marina is finalised.
The pal said: ‘There has been so much nonsense touted around about their relationship. The truth is they love each other very much and want to get married as soon as the time is right. Boris only has eyes for carries and she is totally smitten with him.’
Boris and his team have remained silent and refused to comment since the incident.
The Met Police said they were alerted to the situation by a caller who ‘was concerned for the welfare of a female neighbour’.
Neighbours Tom Penn and his wife earlier this week defended their decision to hand a recording of the heated argument between the MP and his girlfriend to the Guardian.
Boris and Carrie appear to have escaped their London home after the row as ‘class war anarchists’ have set up a protest outside the flat.
Carrie’s close friend British anti-FGM campaigner Nimco Ali said she doesn’t think the pair ‘deserve this from creepy neighbour’.
She told the Evening Standard: ‘People in love row once in a while. So what, they are human. If anything I think this whole thing has brought them even closer together.’
His leadership campaign has been damaged after that night, according to a new poll.
His rival Jeremy Hunt spoke out after the ‘tear-up’ saying Boris should be prepared to speak out and that someone who wants to be prime minister should ‘answer questions on everything.’
A planned TV showdown between the candidates have been cancelled after Boris to take place. He has previously backed out of live debates.
