Boris Johnson pretended to do science and it was an epic fail – 9 favourite takedowns
Boris Johnson found time during his absolutely, positively, 100% essential trip to Scotland during the pandemic to visit a laboratory.

And it went 100% as well as you’d expect. Possibly even more. Because just look at the state of this.
Sorry Boris, you didn’t get the job, now please get out of the lab 😔😂 pic.twitter.com/SlJMnweJTe

For years afterwards Boris cursed that they didn’t just read his CV, with its mesmerising Latin quotes, but unfortunately they asked him to demonstrate his skill set. pic.twitter.com/nw5IfdgqIn
