Our top 11 reactions to Boris Johnson’s Blackpool Beach photo-op
The Conservative Party Conference has just taken place in Blackpool, because the government obviously had enough free time on its hands to have a jaunt to the seaside for some self-congratulatory rhetoric.
Like comparing the Ukrainian resistance to Brexit.
Words fail me that this loathsome man actually just compared the Ukrainian people's current quest for freedom to the UK voting for Brexit

I’m hearing that Ukraine are having a look at what aid they can send to support Brexit “freedom fighters.”
A civilian in Mariupol said “those poor Brexiters have got it so bad over there; we’re trying to organise getting some help to them as soon as possible”

Disturbing. There were many other great reactions to the video, including these.
Johnson looks like he's in serious danger of being downed by the first winkle he encounters https://t.co/IYX7zqtH8l

He somehow even makes going for a run on the beach look like a lie.

The still version didn’t go down much better.
Meanwhile, here's @BorisJohnson doing for Blackpool what the Jolly Fisherman did for Skegness.

This was apparently taken on Blackpool beach yesterday. How anyone can think this man is fit to be Prime Minister is simply beyond me. pic.twitter.com/ss0Y84woRO

Oh look. It’s Boris Johnson doing his same old schtick of acting the buffoon for the cameras so everyone talks about that instead of the fact he’s an incredibly dangerous and reckless human being in charge of the country. They’ll love this on Have I Got News For You pic.twitter.com/bHqvyZZ3eK
