13 favourite things people said about Boris Johnson getting lost for words
As you will now be aware, the much-anticipated end of lockdown rules which was due to take place on the 21st of June has officially been delayed until the 19th of July, four weeks later.
Boris Johnson made the heavily-trailed announcement at a press conference on Monday and it wasn’t so much what he had to say – well, it was – but also how he said it that caught a lot of people’s attention.
