Ha ha ha. Doesn’t want to distract from holding the London mayor to account? Absolute chancer. At least we knew this guy is a con man before he’s got anywhere. Typical of the Conservative party to overlook that and seek to promote him until it became obvious he was not going to win then turn their back on him
absolute piece of crap deserves whats coming to him.

Hopefully something in the 8-12 age range so he won’t be out of his depth
