With typical charisma, Boris Johnson showed the rest of the country's politicians how to acquit yourself on social media during his XX-minute #AskBoris session this lunchtime. 
 
Answering questions ranging from his menu of choice at Nandos (response: “chicken”) and even a cheeky one about “operation Chiselled Whippet” (no prizes for guessing what that refers to), the Mayor of London also managed to get a little bit serious and offer his views on Scotland, property, commuter travel woes, terrorism and – of course – Boris Johnson. 
 
Scottish independence was a topic of much interest among the Twitter, with Johnson asked various questions, to which his response was unequivocal:

Regarding the increased terror threat, he said:

And he had this to say about those travelling to Iraq:

And on Isis:

On foreign investors buying up property, he had this to say:

He broke out some Latin when it came to Boris Island:

This question seemed fair – as was his response:
