I had an angry couple of seconds there. It’s too believable.

So everyone on this sub who were repeatedly saying no one would ever be that stupid now to take the roll of being his ethics advisor, what you have to say now…
Shows you what a s***show this Government is when I actually believed it for a moment.
This is to likely to be true to be satire.
Well done, newsthump, you got me.
We now live in a post-satire society as I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this actually happened.
Poor article. They should have at least investigated who Johnson’s newest mistress is, its his mistresses he likes to pay tax payer money to.
Oh wait- this is satire? I was about to come on and say it’s like a real life episode of Brass Eye.
Meanwhile IRL news emerged the other day that he tried to install her as chief of staff. It really is hard to find where the truth ends and satire begins at the moment. What a country. What a government.
I did a double take
Bloody hell my jaw dropped to the floor there until I saw the word ‘Satire’.
Shit, this actually had me for a second. The worst thing is I was absolutely not surprised either
bahahahaha…
I 100% believe this until I saw the tag. How pathetic that statement is.
Very funny, but given Boris’s track record with mistresses-turned-wives it’s a safe bet he doesn’t want her knowing what he’s up to day-to-day any more than strictly necessary.
Honestly at the point where this is believable
Parody and satire is dead when it could all be real.
this is a joke right?
Bloody hell, it took far to long for me to realise this was satire. The idiot would probably do this if given half a chance.
Honestly, it’s hard to tell from a headline whether this was real or not. Anything is possible these days.
Ngl I totally was about to kick off until I saw where it was from. This headline got me *good*.
For the briefest moment you actually got me…
How sad that it seemed feasible, no matter how briefly.
It’s sad when this is completely believable and I had to check if satire
Amazing where not having a gag reflex will get you in life.
It would be the most honest move he ever made.
didnt she do the dirty on boris’s wife? Whilst she was having cancer treatment? good choice boris.
Well played.
The fact it needs a satire tag, because I very much wouldn’t be surprised if this happened.
