Boris Johnson is ‘constantly lobbied’ by text, sources admit.

Of course he is. The man is a corrupt opportunist liar.

Short THREAD about when he dismissed as 'Lefty delusion' allegations that he was in contact by text with Far Right bigot Steve Bannon.

In April 2019, David Lammy warned people about Boris Johnson, telling #marr: "British soldiers in this country died fighting this thuggery & extremism & here we are in 2019 & people are bringing it into the mainstream for their own political advantage."

David Lammy also told #marr that "We do know that Boris Johnson is with Steve Bannon who is a white supremacist."

But Johnson used his Telegraph column to dismiss concerns & accuse Lammy of a "peculiar outburst" & 'peddling online conspiracy theories'.

Boris Johnson wrote "As for the so-called association with Steve Bannon, I am afraid this is a lefty delusion whose spores continue to breed in the Twittersphere. So why does he say this stuff? Why does this conspiracy theory carry credence on the internet? Because of Brexit..."

Jacob Rees-Mogg, who just weeks before had shared a video by the neo-Nazi AfD party, & has called Jewish Tories "members of the illuminati", also criticised Lammy:

"Mr Lammy lessens his arguments by the use of such foolish language. It trivialises any comments he may make."

Having denied, dismissed, & mocked allegations of contact with white supremacist & Breitbart Editor Steve Bannon, people were reminded that Rees-Mogg had met Bannon in 2017 to talk about how conservative movements could win in the US & UK, just after Trump had RTd Britain First.

Then in 2019 video emerged of Steve Bannon talking about he & Boris Johnson going "back and forth on text” about his 'big resignation speech', when he resigned as Foreign Secretary.

Johnson is a corrupt opportunist #liar, who is totally unfit for office.

Following the report denying structural #racism, an inquiry reveals hundreds of thousands of black/Asian service personnel who died fighting for the British Empire haven't been commemorated in the same way as white personnel because of “pervasive racism”.

And now - as we've all known for a long time - ex-minister Johnny Mercer confirms ‘almost nobody’ tells the truth in Boris Johnson’s government, describing it as a “cesspit” & “the most distrustful, awful environment I’ve ever worked in”.

The electorate & journalists have known for a long time how totally unsuitable the damaged infantile liar Boris Johnson is for *any* position of power:

We continue to ignore at our peril the parallels between 1930s Germany & 2020s England.

Boris Johnson certainly isn't a genocidal dictator, but his proven proximity to the Far Right, & many other similarities to 1930s Germany, are uncanny & unsettling:

Imho, it's not a coincidence that the dysfunctional, infantile & self-entitled current Prime Minister Boris Johnson, & the damaged, infantile & self-entitled ex-Prime Minister David Cameron both went to #Eton & are both now embroiled in lobbying scandals.
