21 favourite things people said about Boris Johnson’s selfie on This Morning
Boris Johnson is still unable to find time to be interviewed by BBC1’s Andrew Neil but he had no problem squeezing in a chat with Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on ITV’s This Morning.
Can’t imagine why.
The interview peaked – or bottomed out, depending on your point of view – when this happened.
We asked you for your captions and you didn’t disappoint. Here are our favourites, along with a whole bunch of other things people said about it today, sometimes angry, often funny, sometimes both.
