Lest we forget, Boris Johnson, still the MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip, has been on holiday since 7th July. 107 days. Oh apart from a quick jaunt to the USA to do a speech for £135,000 I feel certain this revelation will end him. Your welcome. #AwsomePowerOfAMurphyTweet

In February & March last year, a friend of mine who runs a UK ventilator manufacturing firm, wrote to the government FOUR TIMES offering his ventilators at cost. He got no reply so sold them instead to Germany. He isn’t a Brexiteer and he didn’t have Boris’s mobile number.

On the face of this, the BBC's position appears to be: we don't show Johnson lying in parliament because we assume people don't care. The beeb gets huge amounts of unjustified abuse but this really is tragic and the corp should clarify its position very quickly.
