Boris Johnson: UK has “a quite phenomenal year” ahead of it

You would have thought he had learned his lesson by now...

Boris Johnson risked tempting fate for the second year in a row today after saying the UK has “a quite phenomenal year” ahead of it.

Responding to SNP Commons leader Ian Blackford, who declared a “new chapter” for global politics as Joe Biden gets sworn in as president in the United States, he said:

“When it comes to global leadership on the world stage, this country is embarking on a quite phenomenal year” – an ill-fated prophesy that has come to bite him on the backside before.

Well this is just tempting fate, isn't it. https://t.co/pPSE0UuYn3

At the start of 2020, before the pandemic had unleashed its full wrath on the world, Johnson tweeted a thumbs-up pic of him ushering in the new year.

The picture has since become a viral meme for the following chaotic months that ensued.

Meanwhile the PM also failed to appease MPs who expressed concern over the new Brexit agreements which have devastated the fishing industry.

Ben Bradshaw’s reaction perhaps says it all:

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.
