Maybe he's been listening to Theresa May's much lauded speech on him in the Commons on repeat. Oops.

Widely covered elsewhere too, with quotes from sources inside No.10.

He could have given the Queen covid and some people would blame the Guardian!

Is this at the time when Boris had had covid and virtually nobody had had it more than once, so the chances of him giving it to anyone were perceived as somewhere between nil and zero?

And when Boris tended to meet the Queen, was it generally in a) a telephone box or b) a room big enough for two rugby teams to 'socially distance'?

The day before he was hospitalised in March 2020. Seldon quoted a quite specific timeline, he wanted to meet the Queen on 26 March when he was already showing symptoms. Which was a line too far for even the sycophants in No.10

Loving the excuses.

The level of mental gymnastics on show by the BoJo fans is just...hilarious.

Covid badly affected a lot of people mentally.

Some of them never really seemed to recover.

When you are talking about the risk and consequence of potentially killing the Queen, I always err on the side of caution.

That article is nearly 2 years old, it must have already been discussed on here many times.

You guys do love living in the past

Same here. In fact I didn't visit her once during her last few years, just in case.

It was filled out with much more specific detail just recently from people within no.10 in Anthony Seldon's book.

Ironically the person who initially blew the whistle (and apparently talked him out of meeting her) was none other than Mr Barnard Castle himself!

The C4 Dispatches programme that was on last night about Boris' relationship with Lebedev was quite interesting although didn't really tell us anything we didn't already know.

[Fundoreen]

Anyone watch the c4 doco on boris the traitor and his russian friends last night?. No wonder he is not even an mp anymore
and the usa works around us.

They left out the bit about the Russian hookers who were allegedly present in Italy too.

Boris's time in Government has led to some cracking telly dramas

Watched the Theresa v Boris : The Battle to be PM - bit fuzzy version on YouTube: It's an absolute howler very dry in places and you can never quite work out how much of it is pure fiction. The depiction of Gove is hilarious

Saw Brexit the Uncivil War a few months ago with Benedict Cumberbatch as Cummings
Now on This England with a cracking performance by Kenneth Branagh as Boris

[DeejRC]

I was really looking forward to the This is England one but after 20mins it had bored both myself and wife senseless. I like most of Ken’s stuff normally
