Emily Thornberry’s withering disdain for Boris Johnson is 10 seconds well spent
You might remember Labour MP Chris Bryant on Wednesday delivering the perfect 53-second riposte to Boris Johnson’s ‘I thought it was a work event’ excuse.
His fellow Labour MP, shadow attorney general Emily Thornberry did something similar on Good Morning Britain today when asked about the Conservatives’ suggestion that the lockdown socialising rules were a little bit too complicated to follow.
And it’s 10 seconds well spent.

Emily Thornberry – They seem to understand the rules enough to pass them, but they didn’t understand them enough to abide by them.. it’s pathetic#GMB pic.twitter.com/kK2kPKKgMm
