Eddie Mair rips Boris apart with questions about lying and integrity. Johnson turned up for interview not realising Andrew Marr was sick with Mair standing in. Mair, a working class boy from Dundee had no time for Johnson’s pomp, arrogance and entitlement.
If there is one thing Boris Johnson is good at it is getting what he wants, without concern for the consequence. He made clear yesterday that he wants to remain as prime minister. Is he plotting to do so? A thread….
There is a story doing the news rounds this morning that Sunak has cost the government £11 billion by failing to manage government interest rates properly. But the real story is much worse than that. This is about banks winning at cost to us all, yet again...a thread to explain.
Richard Ratcliffe to @BorisJohnson in 2017 (thread): "Your mistake in saying that Nazanin was in Iran training journalists – as opposed to the reality: that she was there on holiday with our daughter Gabriella, visiting her family – has raised the stakes for my wife. Your words
@lauramillz88 Probably should have been red (I have watched it yet) but then when Robertson twice raked his studs down players shins in Jan 2020 I don’t recall any Liverpool fans saying he was lucky not to be sent off (he wasn’t even booked for either challenge).
This is a graphic example of the contempt in which the PM holds the public
Q. “Do you regret the huge error of judgement that saw you attempting to rewrite Parliamentary rules in favour of a friend & will you apologize to the public?”
PM ignores question
@KliphScurlock Hey Kliph, sorry I owe you a bit of an apology. I knew you were a great drummer but I didn’t realise how good a conductor you were. Brilliant tonight. Loved it. Thanks.
Hi @seetickets can you help? Is it possible to change my printed tickets for the Manics on Friday at Piece Hall to e-tickets? I’ve gone on holiday and left them at home. Thanks
@seetickets Would I be able to swap my paper tickets for the Manics gig on Friday at Piece Hall to e-tickets? I’ve gone on holiday and left them at home. We plan on going straight to the gig before going home.
@Dannyceres@MaryCreagh_ More accurately it has generally followed the Tory party views on Brexit although I think it changed somewhere before Johnson taking over.
@i_Lean In year 7 I wrote a short story and had all the characters speech written as they would say them (Yorkshire dialect). The teacher crossed it all out and wrote in ‘proper’ English.
