Oh dear I wonder if Mr Johnson & his followers have discovered irony. Also he could lose a bit of weight. Being both smug and rather solid isn’t a good look (in my opinion -fans may like it!)

Good to see that is to “investigate tirelessly” - as opposed just to “investigate” - what went wrong in Monday’s launch failure. I assume this means any of the company’s investigators who are lethargic or lacklustre will be deployed elsewhere
