Slippery Boris Johnson is taking hard-up Britain for a ride.
He pretends to have introduced a free pass used by a pensioner sitting all day on buses to keep warm ... then at the same time he sides with energy giants enjoying rocketing profits.
The Prime Minister’s gratuitous, inaccurate reference to bus passes when Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid raised the case of struggling Elsie, 77, was a Conservative leader running out of road.
Because by refusing to slap a windfall tax on the likes of BP, which reported a booming £5billion profit, Johnson revealed that he has nothing to offer Elsie and millions of others unable to make ends meet.
That Johnson’s Tory Government actually forced London Mayor Sadiq Khan to cut a pass Elsie didn’t receive courtesy of the Conservatives added insult to serious injury.
Voters going to the polls on Thursday in local elections saw today on GMB that Johnson hasn’t a clue about their lives.
The glib bus comment in a car crash interview underlined why he’s unfit to be PM.
Heavy burden
Britain becoming the fattest country in Europe is a public health crisis.
Piling on the pounds over the next decade cannot be blamed only on Covid, when the deadly pandemic also hit our neighbours.
Something must be wrong in how Britain operates and a cultural shift is required to get us eating better and exercising more.
That requires a Government in power committed to closing the inequality gap, eradicating poverty and creating a fairer country.
Turn it in, Kim
Professional attention seeker Kim Kardashian certainly stole New York’s Met Gala show by arriving in Marilyn Monroe’s £5million nude-coloured “Happy birthday Mr President” dress.
Turn back the clock to 1962 and it’s difficult to imagine Marilyn ever putting on anything previously worn by Kim Kardashian.
