Pick of the Day' 2

'Pick of the Day' 2

Question of the Day - is Cummings going?

Comment of the day on the Cummings-Johnson Shitshow - the Clemantics award goes to Marina Hyde



"The thing about Johnson is that he desperately wanted to become prime minister, and he desperately wanted to have been prime minister. It’s just the bit in between he struggles with. With Othello, it was jealousy. Macbeth: ambition. Lear: pride. Johnson: career liar, hollowed out by narcissism, who not even his friends would joke was motivated by public service. I guess it’s the little things that trip you up, isn’t it?"
