Apparently this is the wreath laying video shown on @BBCBreakfast this morning.
It starts with 2019 line-up, but then cuts to a smarter Johnson from a previous year laying a green wreath.
Compare with “scruffy” Johnson & red wreath 2019.

If you want to see the actual video from yesterday- this is what you need (video embedded in article):

I’ve now had it confirmed from different sources with evidence, with no-one providing evidence to the contrary.
So @BBCBreakfast really did use old footage (2016 it would seem) to replace scruffy wreath misplacing Johnson with a smarter-looking clip of Johnson.

So here is the video BBC were using yesterday, when Johnson had a red wreath, looked scruffy and placed the wreath upside-down:
And here is the fottage used on BBC Breakfast this morning (2016?) where Johnson has smarter haircut & posture and more dramatic green wreath:
In that last clip, listen to the audio (talking about Lib Dems’ “skills wallet” just announced- Google it) to confirm that it is BBC iPlayer footage from this morning.
So... this kind of sprucing up of the leader’s image is something worthy of
...a banana republic. 🍌

(A correction on my first tweet: looks like the line-up was also from a previous year - judging by the iPlayer clip... rather that 2019 line-up into which the other footage was spliced. So the whole footage was a chunk taken from years ago)
And for what it’s worth, here’s the picture that @mrdanwalker & @louiseminchin tweeted out this morning - clothes matching those in the fake news footage from BBC this morning, replacing Johnson’s scruffy & careless Remembrance Day footage.
So it is indeed this morning’s clip.

BBC Breakfast have now apologised for a production error.
Damn right it it was an error.
The key questions are:
1) whether @BBCBreakfast will say if it was an accidental or deliberate ‘error’
2) Whose error was it?

BTW -
Massive credit to this tweet - where I first saw it called out.
This is why it’s critical to follow each other in the grassroots (rather than big celebs only) - that way we all work together to catch this stuff out.
