Hugh in vid jibe for PM

HUGH Grant has blasted a Love Actually spoof campaign video by the Conservatives.

The clip sees Boris Johnson emulating a scene from the 2003 Christmas film.

He silently holds up Brexit-themed messages to a woman at her front door.

Hugh, 59, who played the PM in the film, said: “I did notice one of the cards from the original film he didn’t hold up was the one saying, ‘Because at Christmas you tell the truth.’

“I wonder if the spin doctors in the Tory Party thought that wouldn’t look too great in Boris Johnson’s hands.”

A NEW Banksy mural has been defaced just hours after it appeared on a wall.

A vandal in a hoodie stunned onlookers by asking: “Shall I tag it?” before spraying red noses on the reindeer artwork. ■

The painting had appeared in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter depicting two reindeer pulling a bench as a sleigh to highlight homelessness.
