Boris Johnson is gone but not gone – 19 tweets that nail exactly where we are now
In a development which probably shouldn’t surprise anyone, it turns out that Boris Johnson can’t even resign properly.

As we wait to find out how long this political upside down world will last, these 19 tweets totally nail where we find ourselves now.

I wonder whether we’ll ever escape the legacy of letting the most pathetic, thin-skinned, whiny, chicken licken, cry baby, country-burning cowards convince their readers, listeners & viewers that *we* are the ‘snowflakes’! pic.twitter.com/MKH4qxzI1v
