Boris’s wedding quip and a dose of deja vu

WHO knew Boris Johnson was so big on recycling? After joking to guests at his weekend wedding celebration that his removal from 10 Downing Street was the ‘greatest stitch-up since the Bayeux Tapestry’, some felt a sense of deja vu.

That’s because the 58-year- old outgoing Prime Minister used exactly the same comparison during the Brexit referendum in 2016.

Referring to then PM David Cameron — who hoped to reform the EU rather than leave it — Mr

Johnson told crowds in Staffordshire: ‘My friends, it is a stitch-up. Indeed, it is the biggest stitch-up since the Bayeux Tapestry.’

Having officially tied the knot with 34-year- old Carrie Symonds last year, he threw a lavish bash at the weekend in Daylesford House in the Cotswolds. Owned by Lord and Lady Bamford, the Grade I-listed building also boasts a swimming pool and 1,500-acre estate. It seems the venue wasn’t Carrie’s only something borrowed . . .
