BORIS LINK TO THE TRUTH ‘IS UNIQUE’

BY JOHN STEVENS

BORIS Johnson has been blasted by the German government for his “unique relationship with the truth”.

The ex-pm sparked a diplomatic spat after he claimed Berlin favoured a swift victory for Vladimir Putin in Ukraine.

He said Germany wanted Volodymyr

Zelensky to “fold” quickly, rather than have a lengthy war, for “all sorts of sound economic reasons”.

But Chancellor Olaf Scholz last night dismissed his views as “utter nonsense”.

“We know the very entertaining former prime minister always has a unique relationship with the truth,” his SLAMMED Johnson spokesman Steffen Hebestreit said. “This case is no exception.”

Speaking in Lisbon, Mr Johnson also hit out over his axed successor Liz Truss’s disastrous mini-budget. He said: “It’s kind of like when I play the piano, right.

“The notes individually sound perfectly OK, but they are not in the right order or occurring at the right time.”
