Watch: Boris Johnson claimed Brexit enabled vaccine success – but it backfired
A new video by Peter Stefanovic rubbished Johnson's claim that the vaccine rollout's success was down to Brexit.
Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson is a British politician and writer serving as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party since July 2019. He was Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs 2016-2018 and Mayor of London 2008-2016. Johnson has been Member of Parliament (MP) for Uxbridge and South Ruislip since 2015 and was previously MP for Henley from 2001 to 2008. He has been described as adhering to the ideology of one-nation and national conservatism.
A new video by Peter Stefanovic rubbished Johnson's claim that the vaccine rollout's success was down to Brexit.
The PM tried to claim Brexit had seen off the European Super League, but Gary had other ideas.
“It’s a barefaced lie to say that capitalism is responsible for the development of Covid-19 vaccines. These vaccines were developed by scientists at publicly-funded universities, financed by unprecedented public investment, and rolled out by our remarkable NHS."
He basked in the glory of England’s performance in the Euros and tennis star Emma Raducanu. Well, the rest of us remember the government slamming players taking a knee - and would Radacanu’s family make it past Priti Patel’s new border regime?
The prime minister announced just one new policy in a waffling 44-minute address in Manchester.
Nick Robinson eventually lost his patience, telling the PM they should discuss "a range of subjects, not just one".
"Genius genius genius," wrote one fan.
The prime minister admitted that it will be "incredibly tough" to increase rape prosecution rates - but denied austerity is to blame.
“Bet he won’t say that to Johnson’s face who’s only just admitted exactly how many children he has," one Twitter user said.
