Dan Walker leads must-read reactions as Boris blames BBC for ‘Partygate’

This weekend's Mail on Sunday lashed out at the BBC over its coverage of Downing Street's latest scandal.

Boris Johnson has identified the culprit for the scandals currently engulfing his government: the BBC.

The front-page of yesterday’s Mail on Sunday quoted the prime minister unloading on the “frivolous, vengeful, partisan” broadcaster over its coverage of Downing Street’s festive parties.

Johnson is reportedly enraged that the BBC has been focussing attention on ‘Partygate’ rather than “publicising the need for booster jabs to combat the new Omicron variant of Covid”.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter users reacted with incredulity to the prime minister’s effort to shift the blame.

Typical BBC. Forcing Downing Street to hold Christmas parties against Covid rules and making Boris Johnson attend them then forcing him to repeatedly lie about there not being any parties. Shameful. pic.twitter.com/cjaGUazUHL

According to Mail on Sunday it’s all the BBC’s fault that Boris Johnson’s staff broke the rules and he lies about it. In other news: look over there! A technicolour kangaroo is mating with a unicorn https://t.co/5ofEKYGphL

They have a few options when things get tough. Blame Muslims, migrants, BLM, statue topplers (of which there are two) or the BBC. https://t.co/57nFmQ3pBR

But perhaps the best reaction belonged to Dan Walker, who summed things up succinctly.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
