Michael Spicer was in the room next door to that Andrew Marr interview – for all the good it did

Boris Johnson’s interview with Andrew Marr has been fact checked by independent auditors, and they’re confident he got Andrew Marr’s name right, but that’s about it. Marr struggled to get the Prime Minister to answer the questions he was asked and the whole thing descended into chaos, prompting Michael Spicer to say this:

Can't do anything with the #marr interview because it was essentially two men trying to cut each other off. We've reached a new low in both politics and meaningful debate. Well done everyone!

Happily for us, he had a rethink and decided there was something he could do with it after all …this –

This is the best one yet. I think it really captures what's going on inside us all. https://t.co/ijlFqqdQMK

And this, which speaks for us all.

One of the few pluses of this election has been @MrMichaelSpicer & his excellent political coverage. A rare moment of joy in this unrelenting shitshow. https://t.co/TwGljacNi9

It’s almost worth having insanely incompetent leaders. Almost.
