He does make a far point though. All Governments are on the blower to the media (particularly the BBC) when they report a story in a way they don't like.You know your trolling is getting desperate when you're having to dig out articles from 20 YEARS ago

Watching Alastair Campbell haranguing the BBC over caving in to government pressure is beyond parody ...

I agree, and it's only taken him somewhere in excess of 8 years, 5 accounts, 20,000 posts and 20 years of newspaper articles to make a fair point
Apparently hopeless secretary, Sue Ellen Braverman is in Rwanda right now, looking at arrangements for the deportation gambit.
The BBC also stated minutes ago that nobody has been sent there yet owing to legal challenges.
What the f***? Why can't a government minister get anything done. Shitehouse. Get Rid!

Mental. Absolute disgrace. I strongly suspect they have no plans where they are planning on sending these unfortunate people to or the quality of their care once there. They’re paying to get rid and it becomes someone else’s problem. It’s shameful.

Boris Johnson could face losing seat if found to have lied over partygate
The prime minister is being investigated over whether he misled parliament regarding lockdown parties in Downing Street, and the committee looking into it has now confirmed he would face suspension if found in contempt of parliament, which could lead to a by-election.

I misled you, but I did it in good faith. For once, Boris is telling the truth.
In his mind, "in good faith" will mean "honesty or sincerity of intention".
Effectively, he is saying "I misled you, and that was my honest and sincere intention".
