The blustering buffoonery of Boris Johnson yesterday

British prime minister Boris Johnson held a press conference yesterday to speak about the Sue Gray ‘Partygate' report, which was critical of the ethos and environment at 10 Downing Street.

Johnson allowed a specific number of questions to be asked and insisted that each journalist ask just one question.

Many questions he did not answer. And not one of the journalists present pushed him to answer questions he refused to answer. It was his usual subterfuge, pretending to stumble, changing the subject and then attempting to behave as one of the lads and trying to be funny. It was a shameful performance from the occupant of 10 Downing Street.

It was almost like the performance of a poor school teacher in the classroom with the attending journalists being the students. No insult to the teaching profession intended.

It was the usual blustering performance by Johnson. The timidity of the journalists was worrying.
