In August, Boris Johnson was widely reported to have said he's giving up drinking alcohol until Christmas.

But there's already been much speculation about whether or not Boris Johnson turned up drunk for the #COP26 photoshoot, after he had to be helped up the stairs.

We were told in multiple media outlets that good old Boris Johnson was 'giving up' alcohol 'in solidarity with his pregnant wife Carrie', vowing not to have another drink until Christmas, when their second baby is due.

Here he is "not drinking" on Budget day last week:

Of course, Boris Johnson has LOTS of form about breaking promises & lying: it's normal for good old Boris to lie, mislead & cheat - it's just who he is!

In 2019 he vowed not to drink booze until 'Brexit was sorted' - which he immediately reneged on.

Here he is in April, ignoring his Government's own rules while visiting a pub in Wolverhampton: at the time, visitors to pubs were supposed to be seated whenever eating or drinking, & wearing face coverings when moving around the premises. But rules don't apply to good old Boris!

Apparently, Boris Johnson doesn't even like bitter/beer, & is 'a red wine & Pimm's man', but the image of a man with a pint in his hand is worth a thousand words on the front page. It helped Farage too: once an opportunist con artist, always...

And who can forget that time Boris Johnson was compared to a “drunk uncle at a wedding” after a rambling and incoherent speech for local @Conservatives in Northern Ireland, promising there would be "no checks of any kind" on the Northern Ireland border.

Here's Boris Johnson incoherently rambling his way through a COVID briefing in June: it's always a good sign when during a pandemic the leader of one of the richest nations on earth comes across like a sad old drunk who doesn't give a shit about anything!

Boris Johnson was a leading member of the Bullingdon Club, where prostitutes were hired to perform sex acts & “The whole culture was to get extremely drunk & exert vandalism. Every time someone was elected, they had to have their room smashed to pieces."

Of course, no sane person would deny that Boris Johnson is a serial womaniser, a cheat & an opportunistic liar with a very long & well documented history of grotesquely offensive racist, sexist & antisemitic comments.

Nobody in their right mind would trust him with *anything*.

We KNOW Britain is in VERY bad shape. Fewer than 3 in 10 of the electorate voted for the cruel & corrupt Tories in 2019, & now they're systematically dismantling our democracy, selling off our #NHS, filling our rivers with shit, & taking away our rights.
