JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, BBC. Every time we look into such dealings, it always leads back to the same places. It is not their fault for birth or upbringings, though what they do with it, and this speaks volumes

I love how boneheads still think the Beeb is “left wing” 🤪🇬🇧

That just makes him a broker, when’s that become illegal.

Anyone associated with the publically owned BBC should be politically impartial and not be associated with a criminally corrupt government like the Tories.

Why didn't Boris just go to a bank for a loan like everyone else or was it interest free. Hmmm.

The usual denial & obfuscation while gradual unpicking of the truth comes to light. It’s too deeply ingrained in ToryLiars now to even imagine telling the truth.. Now who’s ToryBrexitLies are continually being exposed VoteLeaveLied JohnsonTheLiar’s JohnsonTheCorruptPM 🤷🏻‍♀️

So they both lied, again?

Why is asking for loan advice wrong? Why is this even news? The media knows if you mention Boris in anything, it creates division and, therefore, drives engagement. It's such a boring news story

ToryCorruption

It gets worse

Sleaze from top to bottom with this ghastly govt.

Why would he step down from a job he paid damn good money to receive ?

He’s off to Ukraine as a self-styled “British hero” to skim off his share new VIP lane for contracts. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out who pays his rent and how they will benefit from his latest scam. I want him nowhere near our friends in need out there.
