Watch: Mash-up of Ant & Dec trolling PM & they end series with one final dig
"Ant and Dec rinsing Boris Johnson on I'm a Celeb has become an unexpected highlight of this whole sorry affair."
Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson is a British politician and writer serving as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party since July 2019. He was Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs 2016-2018 and Mayor of London 2008-2016. Johnson has been Member of Parliament (MP) for Uxbridge and South Ruislip since 2015 and was previously MP for Henley from 2001 to 2008. He has been described as adhering to the ideology of one-nation and national conservatism.
"Ant and Dec rinsing Boris Johnson on I'm a Celeb has become an unexpected highlight of this whole sorry affair."
The Prime Minister said his "virtual" festive quiz broke no rules - but an investigation will look at it anyway.
"Will Ministers never learn?" asks Peter Stefanovic.
Labour has said the prime minister "might have misled" MPs over the Christmas party affair.
'It's time to fess up," Angela Rayner, Labour's deputy leader, said.
“Many people would have had similar quiz nights around the country," Nadhim Zahawi said in the prime minister's defence.
“He gives the general impression that he is a buffoon and that he is not taking things seriously; and what people think of that, I am sure, will come out in the election result," a Shropshire councillor and Tory mayor has said.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak and foreign secretary Liz Truss reportedly have donors lined up. Other possible candidates are Michael Gove, Nadhim Zahawi, Jeremy Hunt, Tom Tugendhat and Matt Hancock.
"I guess it’s possible he didn’t know there was a Christmas party in his own house, but the guy sat next to him draped in tinsel must have been a clue", James Felton said.
