Boris has come to a Priti pass
Just look at him. Boris Johnson. The likeable adulterer, liar and buffoon. The man so desperate to seek attention, he turns every matter, no matter how important it is, into a joke.
Admittedly, he does make some of us smile. But his is the face that looks out to the world on behalf of us all. And that’s not funny, as jailed British mum Nazanin Zaghari-ratcliffe found out when, in a diplomatic effort to secure her freedom from an Iranian jail, Boris spouted inaccuracies which could lead to her sentence being increased instead.
Ms Zaghari-ratcliffe’s MP, Labour’s Tulip Siddiq, said: “His errors aren’t funny – for my constituent this is life and death.” Surely Boris should have been sitting alongside Priti Patel on the bus departing from Downing Street?
