Boris Johnson was “fired for banging on about his book” during a guest appearance on Channel 4’s coverage of the US election, according to the programme’s co-host, Krishnan Guru-Murthy.

It was not clear whether Johnson’s exit from the programme had been planned or if he had departed early.

Johnson retorted: “There’s absolutely nothing you can do to stop me … I’m allowed to plug my book.”

    You’re allowed to plug your book Boris.

    You’re not allowed to bang on about it for hours. Mention it once , show a copy to the Camera, put it away and move on. It’s the same for everyone else on the telly mate.

    He might have thought he was being classy, compared to Trump, who posed with a can of Goya beans in the Oval Office.

      Tbf Boris isn’t capable of thinking of anyone else, even if his life depended on it.

      Remember the pandemic parties where the nation was isolated by law, but Boris was partying like it was 1999?

    Andrex is much cheaper, if admittedly a little less satisfying.
