Has this reader’s letter in Private Eye summed the PM for you?
"There hasn't been a GIF made yet that would truly be able to express my admiration for this tweet," wrote one Twitter user.
Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson is a British politician and writer serving as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party since July 2019. He was Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs 2016-2018 and Mayor of London 2008-2016. Johnson has been Member of Parliament (MP) for Uxbridge and South Ruislip since 2015 and was previously MP for Henley from 2001 to 2008. He has been described as adhering to the ideology of one-nation and national conservatism.
"There hasn't been a GIF made yet that would truly be able to express my admiration for this tweet," wrote one Twitter user.
"The PM was asked about last night’s Cummings revelations including letting 80’s year olds die - words of comfort I’m sure Captain Tom would have loved to have heard as he lapped his garden."
In the hour-long broadcast Cummings said the sooner his old boss Boris Johnson leaves No 10 the better.
The former aide said it is "objectively ludicrous" to suggest that Boris Johnson as PM is a "good thing for the country".
“There are max 3 million in this country aged over 80," he said. “It shows we don’t go for nationwide lockdown.”
"If you can lie and not be tired by lying, And pretend you act for the public good, Yours is this land and everything in it, And - as you wished - you'll be PM, Johnson."
Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak, the chancellor, are among the hundreds of thousands of people currently self-isolating.
"Comb your hair. Take the knee. And f*ck off out of our lives," Alastair Campbell tweeted in response to the video.
What is the scheme, who - beyond the Cabinet - is actually eligible for it, and when will the rest of us be able to use it?
