Boris blast for ‘Libya bodies’ line

Croaky May takes the lozenge that Hammond gave, and makes a mess of sipping water in a coughing fit Going, going.. the “F” falls off the Tories’ slogan, soon to be followed by the final “E” and then several more letters DEFIANT BoJo yesterday NUMBER 10 has rapped Boris Johnson for joking a Libyan city has a bright future... once they “clear the dead bodies away”.

The Foreign Secretary shocked a fringe event on Tuesday night while talking about Sirte, liberated from Islamic State a year ago.

A Downing Street source said: “We did not feel that was an appropriate choice of words.” Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt added: “Boris is Boris and that was very unfortunate language. I don’t want to defend that.”

The comments came after Labour, the Lib Dems and a number Tory backbenchers called for his sacking. Mr Johnson has declined to apologise. WE watched a squeaking mouse respond to Boris Johnson’s roaring lion.

Theresa May was already feeble because he deserved the sack for his treachery, disunity and stupidity.

Johnson’s betrayal was completed by his reluctance to stand and clap when the party wanted to give Ms Sick Note a chance to recover.

Much of the content of her speech was the usual mishmash of old smears against Jeremy Corbyn, dodgy claims about the Tory record and what are likely to prove false promises.

This conference will be remembered for a very public collapse of a Prime Minister. Finding a way back from that will be hard, probably impossible.
