Fun #Boris fact. About 13 years ago, when I was news ed at @ResFortnight, we sent a reporter along to interview the then shadow higher education minister about universities and science policy. It was a total farce. He neither knew nor cared one jot....
@ResFortnight At one point, he blustered (approximately), "Well you clearly know more about this than I do, Why don't you tell me what our policies should be."
@ResFortnight Universities and research, I've always believed, are incredibly important-economically and socially. I was naive enough at the time to be shocked at such blatant disregard of the issues that I still regard as central to Britain's future.
@ResFortnight Just a reminder, if you happen to be a Tory party member, that the only thing Boris has ever really cared about was himself, the only thing he's ever been good at is self-promotion.
@ResFortnight The contrast with his brother, sincere and informed, is stark.
