This old clip of Boris Johnson on HIGNFY has just gone viral and it’s as timely as ever

This old clip of Boris Johnson on Have I Got News For You has just gone viral all over again for reasons which presumably won’t need explaining here.

The clip was shared by actor, writer and filmmaker Jolyon Rubinstein – @JolyonRubs – over on Twitter.

It was Johnson’s first appearance on the programme back in 1998, and it took us back to this memorable Eddie Mair encounter in 2013.

Last word to @ManMadeMoon.

To build on Maya Angelou’s wisdom, “when someone shows you who they are on national tv, assume they’re twice as bad.”
