03.12 Gissa snog!
“Macron had privately called Johnson a
‘clown’ and a ‘knucklehead’, while Thérèse
Coffey, the work and pensions secretary,
had advised strangers ‘not to snog under the
mistletoe’. The two elements worked rather
well together, with Johnson as a clown and
Macron in all his regalia.”
01.12 A Christmas wish
“The emergence of the Omicron variant was
looking perilously like it was about to scupper
Christmas plans for the second year in a row.
The prime minister was saying that with
booster jabs everything was going to be fine,
but we all remember last year. I think the boy
here speaks for everyone.”
