Former Aide To Johnson Says She Felt Like She Was His Nanny.
Cleo Watson a former aide in no 10 described how Johnson needed house training, and how she had to schedule his naps and sooth his tantrums.I even had to take his temperature during Covid, he told everyone else to keep washing their hands but he never did, we even set up a row of chairs between the door way to our office and his ,to keep covid distancing. He would kneel on the chair seats looking over the top howling for attention like a puppy dog. .... What a fool to have had as a PM.

“What about off a piece of cake or from a shared bottle of vino?”
/Well you’re probably joking, but the point of the parties was the contact rather than the food and drink/
Yeah, which is why you’d thing that’s someone who caught Covid early on in the pandemic might have been a bit more circumspect in relation to attending parties, karaoke gatherings etc.

Good memory, naomi. Shortly after that, Johnson won the leadership election and became PM and, since then, he's tended to be driven around ... hopefully in much cleaner cars.
When I read a story about Johnson, Starmer, Trump or whoever, I ask myself if it's likely to be true based on what else I know of them, like - in this case - the state they keep their car in. And I have to say, in this case, I think the story is likely to be mostly true, possibly with a few embellishments and exaggerations. It doesn't mean it is true, of course, and quite frankly I don't care if it's true or not, it's just a bit of fun ...

Why is it in news? Because it's in a few of the papers:

For Christ’s sake, I’m no fan of Johnson, but she’s trying to sell
A book - she will be using hyperbole for the sake of titillation to flog her, probably crappy, book.
I don’t doubt there may be kernels of truth, but I also don’t doubt it won’t be the whole truth as she’s portraying it, and Johnson won’t sue, because what would be the point.
It would throw him further into the spotlight and will increase her kiss and tell exaggerations.
This really isn’t worthy of news.

// I think Winston Churchill was a bit of a baby in many ways - but he proved to be an excellent leader.//
no dee-bee - people ( Hi Naomi!) were wondering about accuracy three years ago and this is sixty years ago
in those days it was common ( freud n all) to draw attention to his (churchill's) deep forehead, and say/imply/ conclude that his baby-like facies was why people trusted him. That is they all looked at him and said - aaahhhhh
AND
1955 before he resigned ( the first time the Monarch went and GOT the PM's resignation, kissing hands etc - and NOT the PM going to the Palace, shades of 2022(*)) it was common knowledge that for example he used to play with plastic duckies in his bath...
In the Good Old Days of satire 1965 there is one where the more youthful PM regresses and this is suppressed by the mandarins, and one scene he (PM) opens the no 10 window and shouts
" Mum there is a spider in the bath!" as his wife walks up Downing St
My papa pointd out this was a reference to the PM being being gaga whilst in office
(*) Is it not too foo-foo ( mind blowing for an ABer if he has one that is! ) ro say that the only two PMs to resign and NOT go to the palace are CHurchill and Boris is it? Boris will say in true AB manner that he has resigned and hasnt at the same time

// I know that Boris can drive a BUS.//
because he drove a bus thro and trashed the constituion of the UK ( yes we do have one boys and girls) when he prorogued parliament unlawfully ?
Boris' response? to change the judges remit ( wivda gt big british civil liberties bill) to that they cdnt do that again ( declare his actions lawful or not)
The Gt Big British Civil Liberties Bill which left us with LESS liberties than we had before? Yes that one.
