Tim Burgess has perfect response after Johnson refuses to apologise for handling of sleaze scandal

The Charlatans singer said the PM's approach to the Owen Paterson affair echoed how he handled exams at school.

Musician Tim Burgess has compared Boris Johnson’s refusal to apologise for the Owen Paterson lobbying scandal to his approach in exams – much to the amusement of those on Twitter.

The prime minister visited a hospital inHexham, Northumberland, in order to avoid a parliamentary debate on standards earlier this week.

He was accused of “running scared” by Sir Keir Starmer, who said he “does not have the decency either to defend or apologise for his actions.”

In an interview with SkyNews he dodged similar questions, deflecting the conversation onto his trip to the North East.

Burgess said the response echoed his approach in exams.

“Answering the question you wished you’d been asked, rather than the actual question.”

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.
