My particular beef, to use Hancock’s words, is that all the WhatsApp messages from the phones of Johnson, Sunak, Gove and every other government minister involved need to be retrieved and published as it is in the public interest to learn lessons in the covid enquiry. It is criminal that these ministers are allowed to lie on oath about not being able to remember key moments and pretend to have lost their whatsapp messages.

Johnson exemplifies why wealth shouldn't equate to power. He's never been bright. His education was brought and paid for, and the way he throws smatters of Latin and Classics in really just highlights how he wants to appear intelligent but has no real substance. He has some rote-learned education. It's doubtful he ever wrote any of the books credited to me, as he would have had interns for that. He shouldn't have been an editor, he shouldn't have been a mayor and he was utterly unfit to be Prime Minister, a squealing piglet playing at doing a serious job. He only achieved those positions due to wealth and inherited connections. I'm not necessarily saying eat the rich - but we shouldn't be allowing them to play at running a country.
