Boris Johnson just joked about missing WhatsApps

As we’ve covered, the Labour Party‘s latest scandal centred on the WhatsApp messages sent between the disgraced Peter Mandelson and the also-disgraced Morgan McSweeney. We’ve criticised both men for years, so we were in a pretty good position to cover this story. The same cannot be said of one Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson:

WTFApp

On 26 March, we covered that Keir Starmer’s former chief of staff Morgan McSweeney reported his phone stolen in October last year. Given that this happened after his mentor Peter Mandelson was sacked, people suspected McSweeney faked the theft to covertly delete some messages. Suspicions only heightened after it came out that McSweeney had given the police incorrect information while also failing to tell them he was a key government employee.

Later that same day, we learned that the people investigating Peter Mandelson weren’t asking to search his personal devices. This was despite them knowing Mandelson had used his personal devices for government business. This is all especially dodgy, because they’re investigating Mandelson as a result of him leaking secret government information to the notorious paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

So yes, this is all very bad.

But still, look at the state of this cunt:

If you don’t know, ‘Shergar‘ was some famous horse that got stolen — exactly the sort of reference you’d expect from Johnson.

This is what the Standard reported regarding Johnson’s own missing WhatsApps:

About 5,000 WhatsApp messages on Boris Johnson’s phone at the start of the Covid pandemic have gone missing, the inquiry into it was told on Wednesday.

They added:

About 5,000 WhatsApp messages on his phone from January 30, 2020 to June 2020 were unavailable to the inquiry. Pressed on this, Mr Johnson said: “I don’t know the exact reason, but it looks as though it’s something to do with the app going down and then coming up again, but somehow automatically erasing all the things between that date when it went down and the moment when it was last backed up.”

Inquiry counsel Hugo Keith KC said a technical report provided by Mr Johnson’s solicitors suggested there may have been a factory reset at the end of January 2020 followed by an attempt to reinstate the contents in June 2020, but the former prime minister denied knowledge of that. “I don’t remember any such thing,” he said.

We think he might remember such a thing, honestly.

We also suspect he might know what happened to that horse the way he keeps going on about it.

Boris Johnson — Liar liars

Boris Johnson is one of the worst prime minister’s we’ve ever had, and if he ever tries to return to office we should throw chairs at him until he runs away. At the same time, he does at least bullshit with some panache. Keir Starmer lies all the time too, but he acts like we’re the ones at fault for noticing:

It says a lot about this country that our options for PM have been ‘eccentric liar’ and ‘boring liar’.
