People love Emma Barnett taking down this Boris Johnson backing Tory MP over facts (and not his private life)
Boris Johnson backers have a habit of telling people to focus on the facts, not their the PM wannabe’s private life.
So 5 Live’s Emma Barnet did just that, in discussion with Johnson backer, Tory MP Daniel Kawczynski (you might remember him from this), and it went viral because it’s such a great listen.

Here are just a few of the things people were saying about it.
Great work by @Emmabarnett exposing either a misunderstanding or an outright lie: https://t.co/Q2nYWPEIcb

This interview by @Emmabarnett of the fool Kawczynski about GATT is a thing of brilliance.

And this is what Emma Barnett had to say …
Boris Johnson would like us to focus on his policies- as opposed to his personal life. So that’s what I’ve just tried to do…applying facts to the one Brexit no deal policy he’s mentioned…@bbc5live https://t.co/JyqvRZbzFL
