Whoever did this to Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock’s books, take the rest of the year off

Waterstones deserves to go straight to the top of the charts with this savage double takedown of Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock.

Hancock, you probably know, has just had his pandemic diaries published while there’s a new account of Johnson’s fall from power written by Sebastian Payne.

And lawyer Jolyon Maugham shared this picture of a display in Waterstones and it’s 10/10.

Thank you, Waterstones. pic.twitter.com/ggTxPFqBD8

Just in case that’s tricky to see in full …

Boom.

Now there’s always the possibility that someone rearranged the books for them, of course, but either way it’s a clear winner.

Cheer yourself up when next you visit a bookshop by moving Matt Hancock and Boris Johnson to the “Crime” section.
