Andrew Marr has blasted “narcissist” Boris Johnson in a poem because the ex-prime minister dominated the information agenda by quitting parliament.
The previous BBC political editor carried out the verse on his LBC present on Monday amid Johnson’s row together with his successor Rishi Sunak over his Home of Lords nominations.
The autumn-out started on Friday and has since descended right into a public slanging match over Johnson allies, together with Nadine Dorries, lacking out on peerages.
Marr made clear his displeasure within the three-minute poem, which essays “trysts with trusting ladies”, “the deadly porkies over celebration lockdown crimes” and “gobbling up of airtime and paper by the ream”.
It begins with the riff: “I’m so bored of Boris Johnson I may scream/It’s sizzling. I’m like a boiling kettle ejecting steam.”
You’ll be able to watch the remainder of the efficiency beneath:
On Monday, Johnson accused Sunak of “speaking garbage” after the PM claimed his predecessor requested him to overrule the vetting committee to push via his Home of Lords nominations.
The burgeoning Tory civil struggle earlier noticed Sunak say his one-time ally had requested him to “do one thing I wasn’t ready to do”.
“I didn’t assume it was proper and if individuals don’t like that, then powerful,” Sunak mentioned in his first feedback since Johnson dramatically resigned as an MP.
Publicly turning on the person he used to share Downing Avenue with, Sunak steered Johnson needed him to disregard the suggestions of the Home of Lords Appointments Fee.
However Johnson’s camp accused the person who was his chancellor of getting “secretly blocked” the peerages of allies in his resignation record.
