  • Quotes
    [on British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, 2020]: I wouldn't libel the Conservative Party by saying that Boris Johnson is a Conservative. He's a vandal. He's out to destroy institutions, be it the civil service or the BBC or the armed forces. He is a catastrophic prime minister and I don't think he will last.
