Boris and the bottles

Andrew Marr’s interview with BoJo this morning was weak. As Mr. Stop Boris points out, Marr clearly had been briefed poorly: compared to the grilling he received on BBC London on Friday, the mayor had an easy ride. Suddenly mislaid £465,000, Boris? Don’t worry, Andrew never knew…

The Times, meanwhile, cut the number of bottles of wine from “over a hundred” to just 39. This leaves us with 3 possibilities: that the Times itself is lying, or that Boris lied in the first place.
