BORIS Johnson has been cleared for likening women in burkas to bank robbers and letterboxes.
A disciplinary panel said he was fully entitled to use “satire” to make his point.
Tory party chairman Brandon Lewis had demanded the former Foreign Secretary apologise for comments made in a Daily Telegraph column in August.
But an independent panel, chaired by Naomi Ellenbogen QC, ruled he did not break the Conservatives’ code of conduct. It is understood to have found he was “respectful and tolerant”.
It also said it would be “unwise to censor excessively the language of party representatives or the use of satire to emphasise a viewpoint”.
Mr Johnson had said he expected women to remove face coverings at his surgery. Universities should be able to do the same if a student looks “like a bank robber”, he wrote.

A friend of Mr Johnson’s told the Telegraph: “Perhaps Mr Lewis will now do the honourable thing and apologise to Boris with the same zeal he shamelessly used to smear his name during the summer.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
