many of its services.

appalling. He is trying to blame the
BBC for his own Government’s policy,
but this obfuscation will not work.
“This Government must stop
passing the buck and step in to fund
the free TV licences today.”
But Johnson tried to shirk
responsibility as he flew to the G
summit in Biarritz. He said: “The BBC
received a settlement conditional
upon their paying for TV licences for
the over-75s. They should cough up.”
Bectu broadcasting union chief
Philippa Childs said: “I’m sure millions
of over-75s set to lose the benefit
won’t forgive him for this betrayal.”

how to take forward the relationship in
all sorts of ways, particularly on trade.”
Stepping up his assault on Mrs May,
the President claimed she hampered
UK-US trade talks. He added he is
looking forward to Britain being free of
“the anchor around their ankle” and the
“obstacle” of being in the EU.
Mr Johnson later said the White
House wants a deal by next summer. He
added: “We’re keen to go as fast as we
can.” But in a separate interview, the PM
BORIS AND DONALD DOUBLE
BY BEN GLAZE
Deputy Political Editor, in Biarritz
BORIS Johnson and Donald Trump
began a bromance in Biarritz
when they met for the first time as
leaders of their countries.
The pair – both frequently accused of
making things up – spoke of their admi-
ration for one another as they spelt out
priorities for a post-Brexit trade deal.
Some fear Mr Johnson will sacrifice
animal welfare standards and open up
the NHS to powerful American drugs
companies as he tries to please the US
President and forge an agreement.
Praising Mr Johnson while slamming
Theresa May, the US President said
yesterday at the G7 summit in France:
“This is a different person... a person
that’s going to be a great Prime Minister.”
The grinning PM said: “I’m not going
to dissent. I’m not going to discourage
you from that, Donald.”
Among the critics was Labour MP
Stephen Doughty who said: “The images
of these two buffoons engaged in an orgy
of egotistical self-delusion shows us how
far our great nations have fallen.
“Britain deserves so much better than
an anti-democratic, deluded, lying Prime
Minister who will sell us and our NHS
out for nothing to Trump – a man who
has revelled in extreme right-wing atti-
tudes that Johnson and his team would
only be too happy to import to the UK.
“Johnson is happy to trade
away our jobs, public services
and national security with a
reckless, no-deal Brexit.”
Shadow Chancellor John
McDonnell said: “Johnson
stands there with Trump like
an embarrassed fifth former
on work placement.
“No other Prime Minister
would allow themselves to be
patronised in this way or
allow [the UK] to be treated
in such a humiliating manner.
Stop selling us out to Trump.”
Mr Johnson and Mr
Trump, who strolled down a
huge flight of stairs to pose together at
the bottom, began their love-in over veal
sausages at breakfast.
Asked if he had any advice for the PM,
Mr Trump said: “He needs no advice, he
is the right man for the job. I’ve been
saying that for a long time.”
He also launched an attack on Mrs
May by saying these endorsements
“didn’t make your predecessor happy”.
Mr Johnson said: “I’m very grateful for
that and we’re looking forward to having
some pretty comprehensive talks about

YIKES!
IT may be sink or swim time for
Boris but the last thing tourists in
Biarritz needed was the sight of
him trotting out in his trunks.
The PM hit the beach for a 7am
swim around the Roche Ronde rock
yesterday, guarded by frogmen.
He later mentioned the “special
detachments of swimming police”.
And using his swim as a Brexit
metaphor, he said: “From here you
cannot tell there is a gigantic hole
in that rock. My point to the EU is
there is a way through.”
