Boris Johnson’s just been owned by Ryanair over Partygate and it really took off

It says something about the state of Boris Johnson and his government and the regard which people have for it that he’s just been comprehensively owned by … Ryanair.

The budget airline shared a graphic of coronavirus alert levels in the UK, specifically the ‘stage of outbreak’ and the ‘Downing Street party level’.

And it’s fair to say it really took off.

Just in case that’s tricky to read …

The airline’s a not entirely disinterested observer, of course.

It was one of the signatories of a joint letter from airline bosses expressing ‘deep concern’ about the government’s ‘haphazard and disproportionate approach … to travel restrictions following the emergence of the omicron variant’.

But as signs of how far Johnson has fallen in the public’s estimation – from a not very great height, obviously – it couldn’t be clearer.

Here are just a few of the things people were saying about it.

I mean, I hate Ryanair too, but I'm enjoying a hateful airplane company ragging on a terrible Prime Minister. Small joys where you can find them, and all that. https://t.co/Mi59dvRXhl

And just in case you wanted a reminder of what the fabulous Ant and Dec had to say about Johnson on I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!
