Reactions as Peter Bone calls PM ‘honest man’ because ‘he did Brexit’

Peter Bone told Newsnight that the “PM was walking past, saw people gathered there and thought ‘I’d better pop in and say a few words’” - AS A DEFENCE.

No 10 is bracing for the publication of Sue Gray’s full report into Downing Street parties in Whitehall during the coronavirus lockdown.

The senior civil servant’s report is expected to be heavily critical of the culture in No 10, which led to the repeated violations of Covid restrictions.

Potentially damaging further details, including the names of some of those who attended gatherings, are also due to be published.

So who is supporting the PM?

Eustice

This morning George Eustice was sent out to do the media rounds.

Kay Burley asked him: “People were so drunk they had to sleep on a sofa at No.10, while members of the public couldn’t go to funerals.. how can he stay in post.”

He replied: “He’s apologised.”

Bone

Over on GB News, Brexiteer Peter Bone was more than happy to defend the PM and also make some well-trodden claims about the UK getting the first vaccine in the world because we had left the EU.

He did admit that trade is down because of Breixt, but the “PM is sorting that out”.

How? We aren’t sure.

When asked by Nigel Farage whether he believed that the PM is “an honest man”, Bone was quick to defend Johnson.

He said: “Yes I do, and I think people in my constituency and I guess across the country think about what the Prime Minister does.

“The Prime Minister should be chucked out of office if he doesn’t do a good job with policy.

“Now he did Brexit, and we’ve got to deal with the Northern Ireland Protocol he’s dealing with that.”

He also appeared on Newsnight where he said: “PM was walking past, saw people gathered there and thought ‘I’d better pop in and say a few words’.”

He then added: “It wasn’t a party. Unless you’re trying to say that the Prime Minister wasn’t telling the truth, and The Met weren’t telling the truth.”

Bone also defended the PM on LBC:

Tory MP Peter Bone said the PM has 'absolutely been straight' with the public about Partygate, saying the only time Boris Johnson broke lockdown rules was 'when he went to a meeting and was ambushed by a cake in a Tupperware box'@TomSwarbrick1 | @PeterBoneUK pic.twitter.com/XvOi0ql93i

Reactions

His blind support for the PM has been slammed online:

1.

Peter Bone MP:

"It wasn't a party. Unless you're trying to say that the Prime Minister wasn't telling the truth, and The Met weren't telling the truth."

Well Mr Peter Bone, that's pretty much EXACTLY what we're all saying#BBCBreakfast #r4today#PartygateCoverup

Peter Bone tells #Newsnight “PM was walking past, saw people gathered there and thought ‘I’d better pop in and say a few words’” – AS A DEFENCE.

Anyone with real respect for the sacrifice being asked of people, would pop in say the following words: “What the fuck are you doing?”

— Alex Andreou (@sturdyAlex) May 23, 2022

3.

It’s so revealing about Johnson’s character, too. “I don’t want to enforce rules. I want to have an audience and be witty and liked.” It’s pathetic.

— Alex Andreou (@sturdyAlex) May 23, 2022

Peter Bone really is a pitiful apologist for Johnson. Not a single shred of integrity. #Newsnight

The saddest thing about Peter Bone is that he gets elected again and again.

Peter Bone tells lies to defend man who tells lies. In other news, the sky is blue, water is wet. Tune in for more bollocks and shocking revelations at KGBNews.
