A MAN Britain has still not forgiven for lying to them and a man who came third in a little-watched reality show are the dream ticket for the Conservative party, apparently.
Newspapers which lost touch with reality some time ago are touting Boris Johnson, who nobody has forgiven for Partygate, and Nigel Farage, who nobody has forgiven for Brexit, as the team which will take the Tories back to the top.
Telegraph columnist Abigail Pennson said: “Boris, thrown out against the will of the people. Nige, never elected against the will of the people. Together they’d be unstoppable.
“Not only are these two guys adored unreservedly, they’re loved by two completely different sections of the electorate: one centre-right, one ultra-right, so that covers every voter in Britain.
“And they’ll have no problem sharing the spotlight. Neither one is in any way a prima donna who thinks the whole world revolves around them. They’ll gel perfectly.”
Carolyn Ryan of Bedford said: “I’m not sure ‘as popular with ITV viewers as Matt Hancock’ is quite the resurgence in popularity the Daily Mail thinks.
“Though Boris told the Covid inquiry last week there were no parties in Downing Street over lockdown at all. And, hearing it this time, I now completely believe him.”
