Boris Johnson said he’d voted in an election that wasn’t happening – the only 6 reactions you need
We’re completely used to Boris Johnson making stuff up. He was sacked as a journalist for inventing quotations, he claimed that Turkey would soon be joining the EU and, of course, there were the many times he claimed we sent £350m to the EU, even after that had been proven false.
His most-recent public lie happened as local council elections took place across England and Northern Ireland.
Boris Johnson (former mayor and current resident of London) tweeted that he just voted in the local elections.
He deleted when he was informed that there are no local elections in London today.https://t.co/p8Urwe1mC1 pic.twitter.com/nwH3Cj8pmm

Well, this is awkward. A few people enthusiastically took the piss.

It’s almost as if this Johnson’s chap is a liar. https://t.co/7IHqy2V0aO

Voted. Haven’t voted. It’s such a fine line innit.

Boris Johnson struggles to know what day it is, what town he is in and if he even qualifies for a vote it seems. Lies yesterday, lies today, lies tomorrow. https://t.co/gFjeGENqvF

Not one thing he says is true. Not one. Not even by mistake. https://t.co/5klAdHVvlv

Someone called @mikeymike1 generously suggested lying might not be the only explanation.
He's pretty thick. There's a chance the local school will find a ballot paper forced through the letter box and a bit of trouser material on the fence where he jumped over.

Anyone would think he had a reputation for being an idiot.
