    This interview by @joepike captures the contradiction at the heart of @BorisJohnson's campaign. He wants to be seen as campaigning to lead a "new" government, but Tories have been in power since 2010. So he finds it impossible to take responsibility for 4-year-old...https://twitter.com/Peston/status/1204029298220453889 …

        Jack Williment- Barr left to lie on coats for hours in a Leeds hospital. His refusal to look at the picture of Jack is Johnson saying "I don't want to own this". This is certainly the political moment of the day and could be the moment of the campaign.

        Johnson’s refusal to look at the picture is absolutely symptomatic of this govt. Where is the accountability? Where is the humanity? In power for a decade but refuse to accept any responsibility. They NEED removing.

        I seem to remember Duncan-Smith, when he was devastating disabled peoples' lives, avoiding even being in the same room as disabled campaigners. The one time he met some, most of whom were in wheelchairs, he an armed police escort! As if that would protect him from *seeing*.

        Has anyone ever heard of a prime minister snatching a phone off a journalist and putting it in his pocket? No me neither We are actually being run by children, spoilt out of control children. Who votes for them? Why, why would you do that? I feel like I'm on a parallel universe😢

        It’s symbolic of him having the likes of Kuenssberg and Peston in his pocket. He’s used to this sort of behaviour being quietly accepted. Good on @joepike for behaving like a journalist.

        If only BJ had been consistently held to account on his record, and had his future plans properly held to account as opposed to allowing mindless soundbites to rule the airwaves. The media have been complicit.

        About time you lot started to tell it like it is. Johnson is acting like he's the opposition trying to get into power to change things - he's the incumbent. His party has been in power for nearly ten years. Perhaps @SkyNews and @BBCNews can start reporting properly too!

        Is it not just that he doesn’t care about sick kids and has been conditioned to think he’ll get away with stealing someone’s phone if they scrutinise him?

        It's British Fascism, mate. He's literally confiscated the tools of the trade. Not how a free press works.
