Cornered in an awkward interview with Suzannah Reid ...

Johnson desperately attempts an "Angela Rayner" manoeuvre:

Best for Britain
@BestForBritain

.@susannareid100 asks PM what he would do to help pensioner Elsie who can’t afford to stay at home because keeping heating on is too expensive & travels round London on bus all day

Johnson says that as London mayor he introduced the 24hr freedom bus pass

[Twitter video]


It excited a few reactions:

Boris Johnson showing he’s the sort of man who, if told by Susanna Reid people had been eating out of bins to stay alive, he would proudly announce he was the one who decided to empty bins less in order for people to have more access to food.

We’re keeping pensioners warm by making them take unnecessary bus trips all fucking day, vote Tory

I’m sure the elderly riding maskless packed busses to try not to freeze to death will have no consequences during a pandemic

The Prime Minister has had his say. The commentators have had theirs.

Now have yours. My full Downing St interview with Boris Johnson:
