Johnson refuses to see photo

PRIME MINISTER Boris Johnson was criticised after he took a reporter’s phone and put it in his pocket after refusing to look at a photo of Jack Williment.

Mr Johnson did not look down at the photo on the ITV political correspondent’s phone yesterday, instead saying he would “study it later” as he attempted to steer the conversation on to Tory investment in the NHS. Shadow

Health Secretary Jonathan Ashworth criticised the PM’s actions, and said: “Refusing to even look at an image of a child suffering because of Conservative cuts to the NHS is a new low for Boris Johnson. It’s clear he could not care less.”

Mr Johnson, who was campaigning in Grimsby, later looked at the photo and apologised to the reporter.
