Andrew Neil: You talk about article 5B in GATT 24. Boris Johnson: Article 24, get it right Andrew, it's article 24, paragraph 5B. Andrew Neil: And how would you handle paragraph 5C? Boris Johnson: I would confide entirely in paragraph 5B. Andrew Neil: But how would you get round what's in 5C? Boris Johnson: I would confide entirely in paragraph 5B which is enough for out purposes. Andrew Neil: Do you know what is in 5C? Boris Johnson: No.

Man: The NHS has been destroyed. It's been destroyed. It's been destroyed, and now you come here for a press opportunity. Boris Johnson: Well actually there's no press here. Man: [Points at camera crew] What do you mean there's no press here?
Boris Johnson
I repeat, Mr. Speaker, that I have been repeatedly assured since these allegations emerged that there was no party, and that no COVID rules were broken. (Boris Johnson)
Boris sometimes seems affronted when criticised for what amounts to a gross failure of responsibility.
Boris Johnson
You are a self-centred, pompous twit. Even your body language on TV is pathetic. Get out of public life. Go and do something in the private sector.
Boris Johnson
I am surprised and disappointed that you have chosen to repeat the figure of £350 million per week, in connection with the amount that might be available for extra public spending when we leave the European Union. This confuses gross and net contributions. It also assumes that payments currently made to the UK by the EU, including for example for the support of agriculture and scientific research, will not be paid by the UK government when we leave. It is a clear misuse of official statistics.
Boris Johnson
Good man, he's tough and he's smart. They're saying "Britain Trump", they call him "Britain Trump".

The Prime Minister's advice to Her Majesty was unlawful, void and of no effect.

The Boris Johnson government's initial response to COVID-19 was the now discredited policy of "herd immunity" - the strategy of letting the virus rip through the population, infecting up to 40 million people, most of whom would recover and then supposedly be immune to the virus. The only problem was that this would have resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths - a prospect the Tories had to abandon in the face of expert denunciation and widespread public outrage. Johnson's change of tack was to move finally towards lockdown, advising against mass gatherings and urging people to avoid clubs, pubs, and restaurants - and most travel - as well as advising older people to self isolate.
Boris Johnson
The most accomplished liar in public life - perhaps the best liar ever to serve as prime minister.
Boris Johnson
Trump has forged a coalition between the workers and the patriotic elite. I strongly believe in the coalition that has brought Trump together. Just like Boris Johnson. That, I think, is the political axis of the future.

Boris Johnson is a shameless liar and a globalist charlatan. The sooner he resigns in disgrace, the better. He could have been a figure of Churchillian proportions, instead, he'll be remembered as a fraud and a joke. (Boris Johnson)
People also underestimate the extent to which he lies to literally everybody literally all day – including to Carrie and about Carrie. 'Lies' isn't even a useful word with him – he lives inside a fog of invention and 'believes' whatever he has to in the moment. E.g He both knows he's lying about the parties AND thinks he did nothing wrong. This doesn't make 'sense' unless you've watched him carefully or similar sociopaths.
