Sarah Vine gave Boris Johnson’s Covid inquiry appearance a rollicking 5-star review and out of all the responses, this one said it best
If you want a glimpse of just how well Boris Johnson’s appearance at the Covid inquiry went for the former PM, then you could do worse – very much worse – than watch these few minutes of evidence, which pretty much 100% nails it.

‘Recovering from a small procedure and watching Boris Johnson ’s testimony to the Covid inquiry.

You're clearly off your tits on morphine, Sarah.

And to be fair – never less than fair! – to @WestminsterWag, she replied like this.
