Sky News nailed this headline about Boris Johnson’s free holiday
It has come as no surprise to anyone with even a passing acquaintance with how the PM operates that his recent luxury holiday in Marbella, at a villa owned by Tory peer Zac Goldsmith, was enjoyed not at his own expense, but as a gift from Lord Goldsmith.
We’d fill in some background on Goldsmith for those not familiar with his recent history, but this Sky News headline has – frankly – nailed it.
They tweaked it a little for Twitter – and to twist the knife.

It didn’t go unappreciated.
Now *that* is how you write a headline. https://t.co/Z6cwz2QMV0

Of course, that story itself was the main talking point.
These five reactions said it all.
I’m. Shocked. https://t.co/ndhfgOaNm2

Never underestimate the self-styled English upper-classes thirst, for free luxury holidays and silly titles.https://t.co/siVvYpzlCr

If only there was some way of knowing why Boris Johnson is so keen to destroy the Parliamentary standards committee. pic.twitter.com/7hGC3jaHob

You make it sound sordid, corrupt and utterly morally bankrupt when you phrase it like that… https://t.co/kfDb0JEjuI

Bonus –
Good day to bury another scandal under the humongous one. https://t.co/PpR0O4i79S
