The PM called Keir Starmer ‘Captain Crasherooney Snoozefest’ but he’s rubber and Johnson’s glue, so it’s okay

"Captain crasheroonery snoozefest"
I’m still thinking about this. Chris Mason just described it as ‘Johnsonian rhetoric’.
Who talks like this? Who finds this impressive? He’s like David Brent or Homer’s gauche neighbour. It’s just f*cking stupid.#PMQs #PoliticsLive— Snow (@Lookinupatstars) July 13, 2022

“Captain Crasheroony Snoozefest” is top banter, wow, Johnson is such a lad. #PMQs

Boris Johnson, a 57-year-old Etonian & Oxford graduate desperate to emulate Churchill, said by so many to be oh-so smart, can only conjure up the hopeless "Captain Crasheroony Snoozefest" as a line of attack #PMQs

'Captain Crasharoony Snoozefest' has confirmed to me that Boris Johnson is the sort of person who goes up to comedians after gigs and says 'I've got a joke you should use' before then saying something massively shit and unfunny and laughing at it all by himself.

Who among us hasn't filed a barely serviceable half-draft during our notice periods, eh? https://t.co/2ecPyndSuk

Was it Shakespeare or perhaps Cicero who first said “Captain Crasharooni Snoozefest"?

As bad as it would have been as an impromptu jibe, it’s probably worse than that.
The thing is, it's clearly a pre-scripted line that Johnson considers brilliant. Because he is interrupted from it three times and he still returns to it. https://t.co/Fai6Fh5atr
