In a brilliant attempt to garner public support for Johnson, Rees-Mogg smirked and replied "well what words would you have preferred? I would have used ambuscade myself"

I thought yes that will bring all those Tory dissenters in the Red Wall constituencies back on side.
I watched Newsnight on IPlayer this morning - I’m surprised the Tories let him out to be interviewed after what he said about Grenfell victims a few years ago. He sees himself as some sort of constitutional expert with his talk about the need for an election if Johnson goes - all he was trying to do was frighten red wall MPs into backing the man who “gets all the big decisions right”

Here’s today’s Johnson lie - another story that won’t go away.
