GREAT NEWS
My campaign to limit the number of people retweeting this partygate clip and causing any upset to the Conservatives has made great progress I’m now so confident that nobody will RT it that I am going to tag in @Conservatives so they can see how well we’re doing

Johnson was forced to resign last year after numerous members of his government resigned in protest of the “partygate” controversy.
Yesterday, Johnson refrained from commenting on this situation in his debut as a columnist for another major British media, the ‘Daily Mail’. In this sense, the former British Prime Minister limited himself to talking about how a diet pill could help end the obesity problem that the United Kingdom has been suffering for some time now.
