Laura Kuenssberg accidentally sent Boris Johnson the briefing notes for their interview

Grandmabatty, nailed it!

I wonder what repeat show will take its place

It would have been interesting. We are all capable of forming our own opinions when watching. Some will strongly dispute whilst others will strongly agree.

The BBC was always biased against Boris id rather see an unbiased interview anyway Starmer had work events that looked like a party lt was a party when it came To Borris

Well, the official investigation deemed it to be a party. Unlike Keir’s ‘ party’ which wasn’t. Nothing to do with the BBC.

Aye, right. She probably sent it to him but copied in a colleague who has picked her up on it

My first thought, too.

Mine as well.

Thank goodness it was cancelled!

Well, it has been said that Laura Kuenssberg Is A Conservative.
I was hoping it might be an interview when Boris was able to finish at least one sentence without interruption.

I'm rather disappointed. I was looking forward to shouting at the telly.
LK a fan of BJ? Really?

I doubt the BBC wanted to promote Boris Johnson’s book. More likely bite the jugular.

His no.1 fan, Laura K is more likely to tickle his tummy than bite his jugular.

Spot on. She’s sucked up to him for years.

Gyles Brandreth wrote in his book that he had heard that the Queen had a form of myeloma, bone marrow cancer.

That was a couple of years ago now

I believe that repeating a rumour you have heard and saying that’s what it is, and stating something as a fact are different Rackarie, that’s why it was picked up.

Johnson was the PM not a family friend

Oooops!

😬how embarrassing

I dont think BJ is likely to suffer - more publicity....I wouldn't have watched but am curious as to claims made in the book and a fact check...

That is unusual for her.. I wonder what she was going to ask that has caused this cancellation..

Thinking about it, it 'may' have been a jugular question and, as a result of knowing it was coming, Johnson has pulled out of the interview..

Remember how he spent a lot of his time avoiding the press? (apart from the friendly ones like Laura K...)

I am not sure Casdon, an organisation that knows what it is doing? If I find one I will let you know 🙁

I wouldn't have watched anyway.

Not by the BBC though.

An interesting observation. Who do you think should scrutinise the claims Galaxy?
The only one I’ve seen mentioned so far, on CNN, was that the book claims that the Queen died from a specific cancer, which breaks royal protocol.

Just another opportunity for Johnson to push his book so it's good it's been cancelled.

That is a ball to drop, a big interview being pulled on the day it was due to air. I do think Laura Kuennsberg was incompetent if she let that happen, and it would be good if the interview is rescheduled with somebody else - there are a lot of ‘sensational’ claims which bear some scrutiny.
