These 4 scathing replies to Carrie Symonds’ tweet about Boris Johnson’s dog were a bit ruff

Carrie Symonds, who is Boris Johnson’s girlfriend, has been hitting the campaign trail on behalf of the Conservatives – oh, how we’d love her to campaign for another party, but alas not – and it seems she’s been combining some of it with taking their dog for a walk. On Monday, she posted a short clip of Dilyn having a good roll on a mat, with a short caption.

As adorable as the dog is, the tweet didn’t get the reception she might have hoped, and these four replies were quite the takedowns.

It’s simply not fair on the satirists.

Mock the week has a team of scriptwriters and can't come up with satire like this account and these three words https://t.co/kj9vqjfMKO
