Boris Johnson

Great Britain’s Conservative Party went down to a huge defeat this summer, with Labour’s Keir Starmer taking the reins as prime minister in July. The New York Times Sunday Magazine of August 29 celebrated with a 4,000-plus-word story by Mark Landler, “The Conservative Crack-Up.” The equally blunt online headline: “How the Tories Lost Britain.” A gleeful, vengeful tone permeated the…

Host Christiane Amanpour interviewed former UK Tory minister and Member of Parliament Rory Stewart on Monday’s Amanpour & Co., and they got right down to smearing Stewart’s former Conservative Party in Britain, and former Prime Minister Boris Johnson in particular, as dangerous extremist “nationalists.” Amanpour eagerly introduced Stewart, who in turn eagerly slimed his former…

Monday's Amanpour & Co., airing on PBS and CNN International, launched a tag-team, three-pronged personal assault on three recent conservative leaders: Boris Johnson, Donald Trump and Silvio Berlusconi. Amanpour interviewed Alastair Campbell, the self-impressed former Director of Communications for Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair, about his new book calling for…

On Tuesday’s Amanpour & Co., host Christiane Amanpour was joined by Yale professor Timothy Snyder, whom she described as “an award-winning historian and bestselling author, focusing on the dangers of authoritarianism.” Both host and guest went on an extended rant on the hypothetical threats of political violence ginned up by Trump supporters, or as Amanpour breathlessly put it, “…

In light of Ron DeSantis' overwhelming victory in Florida, in which he even carried traditional Democrat stronghold Miama-Dade, Morning Joe taunts Donald Trump, saying "this is Ron DeSantis' party now."

Too soon? Yes. On Morning Joe, on the day that former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated by being shot in the back, Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson said Boris Johnson became prime minister of the United Kingdom "after knifing Theresa May in the back."

Morning Joe took some time on Wednesday to talk about the “scandal” surrounding British Prime Minister Boris Johnson regarding his parties during COVID lockdowns and almost, almost had a rational response before Willie Geist had to remind them that they work at MSNBC, thus January 6 was introduced.

Is the strain of Joe Biden's pitiful polling numbers getting to Biden fanboy Joe Scarborough? The Morning Joe host has long been a leading Trump hater but Thursday morning seemed to be the first time he indulged in violent fantasies about the former president. It happened during a segment on Boris Johnson's woes in the UK and Scarborough hoped Trump would "bleed out politically" like…

The New York Times refuses to let go of masks, in any sense, and won’t forgive Conservative United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson for reopening public life this summer after highly restrictive COVID lockdowns. Now the paper is using the still-unproven menace of the new Omicron variant to shame him into locking down just like other European countries are doing (never mind …

Washington -- Or should I dateline this column "Mid-Atlantic" or just "On the Ground at Heathrow?" Whatever, I feel this column is being written at 35,000 feet above the Atlantic Ocean, and I am anticipating great fun when I arrive in London. London is always great fun: nightclubs, restaurants, dozens of literate friends -- even a few useful lectures and concerts. Years ago, I could boast of…

On Wednesday’s episode of The Psaki Show, Fox’s Peter Doocy continued to demand answers on the border crisis by stumping Press Secretary Jen Psaki with questions about how many Haitians have been apprehended at the southern border, why hasn’t the Biden administration addressed the months-long crisis, and whether Biden has ever been to the border in his life.

The New York Times never misses a chance to go after Prime Minister Boris Johnson, leader of the Conservative Party in Great Britain. Saturday’s piece by Stephen Castle, “Cronyism and Profiteering Allegations Roil Britain’s Conservative Party,” told a familiar liberal media story of “Tory sleaze.” 

You know the New York Times is against you when a story compares you to Donald Trump in the headline and lead paragraph. Monday’s report by London bureau chief Mark Landler found Boris Johnson, Britain’s embattled Conservative Party Prime Minister, in Trumpish straits: “A Trump-Like Quandary Over Racism and Sports Roils Johnson in Britain.”

It is an unfortunate fact of life that social media allows people to say all sorts of horrible things that they would never say to a person's face. This is what happened after three black English soccer players missed their penalty kicks in England's EURO championship loss to Italy on Sunday, but for Monday's CNN Newsroom, the fact that people are racist jerks on the internet provided…
