And Johnson HAS STILL not apologised properly or withdrawn the slur unequivocally. Just a general word salad clarifying his remarks. It’s like when Trump wouldn’t take responsibility for Jan 6th until he was forced to go on TV to calm the mob. This is just horrendous.
We have to get these populist nationalists out of office. They are literally destroying our country and dismantling our society. It’s insane.
What a country we’ve become. Grim. Lots of issues going on here but unfortunately the politics of division & the celebration of ignorance are huge factors. I hope the PM is swift to condemn it. Really swift. Perhaps his new communications boss will help.
‘You should be hung’ they chant. Just like Trump’s people did to Pence. Same playbook, same outcome. It’s no good.
As @MrJonNewton reminded me, Nadine told a select committee she will only ‘do the news’ if she is forced to. This means someone is forcing her to do this. It is a hostage situation.
I really want @louistheroux to do a programme in which he spends time with her.
“Then, to my considerable surprise, I was ambushed by a can of lager that was thrust into my hand during the course of the birthday party I didn’t know I was at, and I turned towards my official photographer in what looks like a pose, but was in fact me trying to leave at once.”
🚨 Nick Gibb has now sent in a letter too.
Bit silly of the Prime Minister to fire all his staff before the beer photo appeared as he can’t now fire all his staff now that the beer photo has appeared. #JohnsonMustGo
My favourite bit is where he just dismisses the whole notion of ‘global’ evidence as if the rest of the world has no relevance. That’s one of the major problems of our time, right there, on telly.
