Boris Johnson is guilty of a lot of things, but putting his feet up in Paris isn’t one of them

We know Boris Johnson was momentarily joking with the feet-on-the-table pic, can we focus on anything else about him and what he's doing to the country?

Boris Johnson sparked a social media frenzy today following reports that he put his feet up on a table in France’s Elysee Palace.

The Prime Minister met for Brexit talks with Emmanuel Macron, but appeared to leave his manners behind when he entered the French President’s official Paris residence.

An image was quickly circulated following the photo call, prompting criticism online.

Alastair Campbell said: “It’s embarrassing that the newly-elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom takes so long to go and see the German Chancellor and French President and then sticks his feet up on the President’s table.

“It might sound trivial but it just shows a complete arrogance and disrespect.”

And many others followed suit.

But not all is as it seems with the picture, which was captured as President suggested the table would work well as a footstool should the PM want to recline, which Johnson then jokingly does.

As Mia Jankowicz pointed out, “we know Boris Johnson was momentarily joshing with the feet-on-table pic can we literally focus on ANYTHING ELSE about him and what he’s doing to the country?

“It’s not like there isn’t a smorgasbord of heinous outrage available.”

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.
