Senior Tory Sir Desmond Swayne has been condemned as “completely out of order” by cabinet minister Michael Gove after claiming that Covid statistics have been “manipulated”. Sir Desmond, who represents New Forest West, was interviewed by a US anti-vaccine campaigner and urged an anti-lockdown group to persist with their efforts, suggesting official data should not be trusted, according to PA media.
Seriously, what is wrong with this clown?
Essential only as a 'perceived' PR stunt for Boris who is clearly in denial of the contempt in which he is held in Scotland. Too ashamed this time to show his face this time to Scottish Fishermen as he sneaks in & out of Scotland like the snake oil salesman that he is. indyref2
This elbow knocking thing is so unnecessary. Mr Johnson continually sets a bad example
😡 as usual one rule for the Johnson another for everyone else 🤬
It’ll only be worth it if he gets ‘egged’. That’ll certainly lift my spirits.
Do they still have dragons, ghosts and moats? Just curious.
I see no problem. He is clearly visiting as part of his job to meet people on the front line and how it works at the vaccination centre.
While the rest of us are locked up 1 rule for them and another for us
he shouldn't have came all the way up to scotland its so irresponsible he just doesn't want us having independence after his fuck up wae brexit.
Feed him to the Lochness Monster ! Scotland Boris
Scotland should hold a referendum as soon as possible to decide their fate... Funny thing is UK is about to disintegrate and the British Parliament is busy discussing issues in India🇮🇳 🤣
Just look at how the EU are handling their vaccine programme and how they're trying to hijack ours, that's the EU we escaped. Haven't heard the criticise the EU's behaviour once, typical pro-EU left-wing rag of shite.
As he's a superspreader, quarantine him. Say ... ooh, 70yrs.
Just do whatever you want Boris for your party. Never mind that the rest of us must stay put. You are adding to your problems in Scotland for this very reason. You and your party are the problem. Get real and stay home!
He's welcome to visit Scotland as often as he likes. Every visit makes indyref2 more likely.
He is still intent on herd immunity. Evil man!
He's all out of Haggis?
In no way is coming to Scotland essential travel. He can lie to us just as effectively from Westminster. Did he stop for a photo shoot at Barnham castle en route ?
At this time, this trip is less essential than a visit to Barnard Castle.
On what level does he think he can fix the nation having lied about everything else. People don’t have any confidence in him. He lied about Brexit and we are about to live in a shambles for years to come. Unique businesses ruined. Lies over sorting the pension for 1950s women. !!
Your indirect, almost unconscious idea of 'setting an example', states your underlying contempt for the British People. Your downright condescension believing people need Boris Johnson's example is abhorrent.
They need to see who they're waving goodbye
BorisJohnson back in electioneering mode, if he ever left it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His trip is not essential. He's not coming alone and is setting yet another example of Tory arrogance - they don't have to follow the law. Kier Starmer shouldn't be encouraging this rampaging ignorance too. There will be chances for them to campaign against Scottish independence
who cares! How about the guardian questions the government and it's drastic encroachment into personal lives. Oh no, needs to keep conflating scepticism with hoaxes and protecting the government which it criticises 365 days for menial things in comparison.
Nothing Johnson does is anything more than grandstanding. It's just a stunt to placate his numpty party faithful.
Going to Scotland for a photo-op is inappropriate - just plain wrong.
He's desperately running around now trying to fix his litany of failures...
I miss read that as uk covid lie or perhaps I didn't with regards to johnson
NicolaSturgeon Is his trip 'essential'?
Sturgeon is playing the idiot like a fiddle, will be interesting to see Scottish indie polling after his visit
StayHomeSaveLives
He’s never been a man to pull out at the right time.
BorisJohnson Blatantly political and will thankfully push Scotland even closer to Independence 🇪🇺🏴
Unsound mind🤷🏻♀️
Last trip up he did a press conference from an empty field miles from anywhere and met some fishermen... He will be doing one of these things this trip. Can you guess which one? 🤣🤣🤣
He's the prime f-in minister. He's not having a rally like Trump, he's doing prime minister things. He's doing his job....badly mind you but at least he's doing his job.
