Boris Johnson can't name current Conservative West of England mayor

Tim Bowles. None of us wanted to spend money on W of E Mayor. I didn’t vote. This time I might and if I do it will be for Dan Norris of Labour. He lives local and was a very good constituency MP for the old Wansdyke area.

And yet they will vote for him!

Of course he doesn't know. He thinks waffleing around makes him look busy and too important to bother himself with this sort of stuff. Just as he's too busy and important to comb his hair or tuck his shirt in.

Septimia

Of course, he should have done his homework. But i wouldn't have known either.

But you're not the current PM!

Ah, but Margiknot you’re not running the country!

As someone ( rather older than Boris) who often can’t find words or names (I very well know - I just can’t get the name I want- as soon as I stop trying the name or word will return to the tip of my tongue) I can sympathise!

Of course, he should have done his homework. But i wouldn't have known either.

Very amusing really, as the mayor in question is in post and is a tory...

The truth is that Johnson just can't be a--ed with detail... He was just as bad before he had covid.
