‘I did not know it was my birthday, or that I had planned a birthday party. I just walked in and there was my wife, friends and a cake with candles.’
‘Yes, they sang Happy Birthday to me, but we’ll wait for the report to see if it was an actual party.’https://t.co/0sFLIfN8qs

Ok. Enough’s enough. Boris Johnson and every single member of the cabinet who has propped this stinking sock up needs to shit off.

I've been to fewer parties in my entire life than Boris Johnson had in 2020.

To be fair we need to establish exactly WHO the 30 party guests were at Johnsons lockdown birthday bash.
It could just be a quarter of his kids in all fairness. #BirthdayCake

Those Boris Johnson #birthdayparty games in full:
– Pass the buck
– Who can bluff
– Pin the blame on the staff
– Egg on face-and-spoon race
– Tug of war with your conscience— Andrea Mann (@AndreaMann) January 24, 2022

If what finally brings down Boris Johnson is a photo of him blowing out the candles on a Colin the Caterpillar I will never, ever stop laughing

If I were Keir Starmer I wouldn’t bother prepping questions I’d just sing Happy Birthday at the PM on Wednesday and encourage the whole shadow front bench to join in

This heartfelt post from writer Otto English was echoed over and over, reflecting a depth of hurt and anger Boris Johnson shouldn’t underestimate.
June 2020. My family have not been able to see a dying relative or hold his funeral. I haven't seen my mother, then in the last stages of life.
My kids have been off school at a critical moment in their education.
And Boris Johnson is holding a boozy birthday with 30 guests.
