What's your favourite Boris Johnson lie?

Mine is 'everything was done with complete propriety and in the normal way' which was a lie about the Jennifer Arcuri thing but could relate to his lies about whole of the last 10 years really.

Which is your favourite?

40 new hospitals, as also parroted ad nauseam by Matt-the-App Hancock is a big favourite on medical twitter atm.

50,000 NEW Nurses!

(Except the 19,000 already there)

ScribblyGum · 10/12/2019 16:16

50 MEEEEEEEEEEEEEILLION [Dr Evil stylee] more GP appointments!

I like the one where he said he'd given up drinking until Brexit was done to a reporter and then just had a little snifter..

He seems hungover/off his face most days actually.

Blkllama · 10/12/2019 16:30

That he would rather die in a ditch than not get BREXIT DONE by October 31st.

Why is he still alive?

Simkin · 10/12/2019 16:45

I wouldn't be surprised if Johnson did wish he was dead in a ditch by now. Family fallen out with him, Dom in one ear, Donald in the other, Putin's puppet stick up the arse... I almost feel sorry for him. But I don't.

Not a lie but him pocketing the reporters phone yesterday rather than look at the photo of the boy on the floor in A&E was one one of the most bizarre things I've seen!

That was until this morning when he hid in a fridge rather than speak to the GMB reporter!

These are not the actions of a man who has a grip on anything! 🙄

TheBlueStocking · 11/12/2019 20:33

My favourite was that he paints buses on wine crates. I loved watching his little brain spin through all of the plausible hobbies he might have and that coming out as the best answer.

TheABC · 11/12/2019 20:36

Watching him hide in a fridge. That raised a genuine smile from me.

Hereismyreply · 11/12/2019 20:40

I immedialtely thought of the "No press here" in front of all the press. Sadly, he has learned from experience that if you are a candidate for high political office, lying works and wins you votes.

Santasy · 11/12/2019 20:44

He's like a parody. But...He is going go be the chosen prime minister tomorrow if the polls have it right.

So somebody trusts him (despite him hiding in a fridge/confiscating a journalists phone/the model bus shite/ too many other appalling acts). I would love to understand why (other than the opposition excuse). This man is being chosen, his opposition will be forgotten.

I think lying to the Queen took some special gumption.

And after that he lied about lying to her.

I lead a life of blameless domesticity and always have done.

Singlenotsingle · 11/12/2019 21:11

"Yes I watch the Queen's Speech on Christmas morning!" Oh whoops, no! That's Mr Corbyn.

That's great, if that's the worst lie you can find for Corbyn then I'll take that.

ForalltheSaints · 11/12/2019 21:13

I don't have a favourite lie.

This is not a game show.

BrexitMakeItStop · 11/12/2019 21:14

That he will "Get Brexit Done".

Totally misleading. It won't be done for decades.

Fuck him. I despise him. Incapable of telling the truth.

MadameJosephine · 11/12/2019 21:16

How about the one where he claimed to have offered condolences to the family of Jack Merritt when he has done no such thing

Having seen the close-up of the earpiece he wore in the ITV debate, maybe there really was somebody feeding him lines from the next room in the painting buses interview.
