When Johnson looks bad in an LBC interview with Nick Ferrari, you know he's got nothing but a wing and a prayer.

And you accuse other people of being a “snowflake”

Nah, it just looks stupid.

Therefore, the answer would be to decline the invitation to attend, rather than saying yes and then sending your dad to cover for you ?
It was hilarious.
The Gove & Stanley double act was all staged to make it appear like something else had happened, they would both be better placed "in the jungle".
Stanley's prominence was all timed to coincide with his son running for leader and tbf, it worked rather well but, this just looked like playground stuff and crying about the relevance of these debates is no good, after your man has been ridiculed, they should have said a very firm NO when the invites went out. Instead, Boris IS running scared and probably with good reason.
I mentioned in a previous post about the glee that the Tories had when pointing out Corbyn's discomfort but, their man is just Frit.

We all know the right wing project snowflake onto everyone to make up for their own bed wetting. Just look at the state of the Tories bellyaching about Channel 4 replacing their leader with an ice sculpture. Johnson has even sent his Daddy in to bat for him.

From what I've seen and heard of Gove this last couple of weeks, he seriously needs to lay off the whisky and cocaine.

And Stanly was bowled with a googly stood next to him

Johnson was woeful on Marr today and it's east to see why he is running scared of Andrew Neil, indeed, he pretty much said that Marr was the only Andrew that would be interviewing him for the BBC.
From blaming Labour for the release of the London Bridge attacker and for the 10 years of austerity, this guy is a buffoon of the highest order.
All that he wanted to do was repeat his rehed soundbites and absolve himself and the Tories of anything that has taken place over the past 10 years.

It's a crying shame that there is so little choice in the election but, anyone but Johnson, PLEASE

He can’t even lie convincingly a bit like his mentor Trump. I am beginning to doubt he was in the government for the last nine years, I presume it was a doppelgänger.
In the last week articles have been found where he has criticised single mothers and the working class let alone Muslims but these apparently have been taken out of context despite the full articles being available to disprove it.
We now know that his tweets this morning justifying that it was the fault of others that the terrorist was out were in fact copied and changed from an account which actually tasted the reverse. When you think he cannot go lower he does.

Quote Scarlet Pimpernell="Scarlet Pimpernell"taken out of context'" This is the new line of denial in politics. Just say it was taken out of context and hopefully nobody will notice you're trying to gloss over a clanger. Unfortunately, plenty don't notice, and they just parrot the same 'taken out of context' line in a desperate/stupid attempt to defend the indefensible. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/ ... 3e6f8059ed

It is a rare and strange example of a governing party running against its own record.

So we have New Old Labour vs... Blue UKIP?

You wouldn’t consider a Blair government to be leftist. I think we will see more lies the nearer we get to Election Day especially if he thinks he won’t get a majority.
I expect the right wing press to also get more desperate with wild stories based on little or no evidence much like Johnson’s MI5 statement today.
