British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is being accused of shirking tough questions about his character and record ahead of a televised election debate with opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson tries to operate a sewing machine decorated for Christmas, during an election campaign stop at John Smedley Mill in Matlock, England, Thursday Dec. 5, 2019. The UK goes to the polls in a General Election on Dec. 12.

Friday’s televised showdown comes amid an ongoing controversy over Johnson’s decision to avoid an in-depth interview with Andrew Neil, a BBC journalist known for his forensic questioning. Four other party leaders, including Corbyn, endured such a grilling, and Neil has accused Johnson of “running scared.″

He said Johnson needed to answer questions about trust, “and why at so many times in his career, in politics and journalism, critics and sometimes even those close to him have deemed him to be untrustworthy.” He recited the number on LBC radio, and said “if you ring the prime minister’s diary secretary, he will know, or she will know, what the prime minister is going to do.”

This guy is questionable.

What do you make of Boris Johnson's body language ? It is as if he is about to enter a boxing ring but is likely to back out unsure if he should enter at all ? Is this his Labour's Love lost image ?

So?!?

The Andrew Neil Show 🐓🐓🐓

I'm so sorry you guys have to go through this sh*t too. I don't wish this on anyone. AllRoadsLeadToPutin Sincerely, From across the pond

I hope the little laugh Boris and his other gossip girls had about Trump was worth the 10's of billions of dollars its going to cost them.

Do Brits really want a trump of their own

Oh I’m sure women will come crawling out screaming assault if they haven’t already. Old playbooks.

Plus the now leaked report that Boris deliberately lied to the UK citizens about Brexit. Stop electing morons with no moral compass!
