      We’re at #Perugia airport, where its President tells us Boris Johnson has not recently travelled through. He’s checked passenger registry. Says airport worker meant to say Tony Blair, not Johnson, arrived on 13th Sept; left 14th. Only UK flights on 11th was Ryanair. None on 12th.

      Now... #Perugia airport has checked 12th Sept arrivals list again and there was indeed a flight from Farnborough that landed here. It had one passenger on board. Airport checking that person’s identity as we speak...

          President of #Perugia airport has checked with police and the association that manages non-commercial flights into this airport. The one passenger who flew in from Farnborough on Sep 12th was “a private citizen and not Boris Johnson”.

          If they say it isn’t Johnson then that first denial of the flight is going to look mighty suspicious

          UK is not Schengen, so either Johnson should have had to show his passport or arranged some diplomatic bypass, which would surely be recorded somewhere. /1

          The fact that they're checking passenger manifests and missing flights indicates that it's probably quite easy to slip unrecorded into Italy by this route, something I am sure is not lost on plenty of people. /2
