Partisan

I've enjoyed watching this story drop down the running order of the Mail Online through the day, and the social media ridicule it's attracted. 

"Boris Johnson has condemned the BBC as 'shamefully frivolous, vengeful and partisan' over its coverage of the No 10 'Partygate' row.

The embattled Prime Minister turned his fury on the Corporation in the belief it has neglected its 'primary duty' of publicising the need for booster jabs to combat the new Omicron variant of Covid.

Mr Johnson angrily told friends that the BBC's exhaustive coverage of the party scandal has 'wasted' too much 'public time and attention' when it should be concentrating on urging the public to get their jabs now that 'Omicron is starting to rip'."

It was written by Glen Owen, who beat Jack Doyle to the role of Mail on Sunday political editor back in 2018. Jack Doyle is now, still, Director of Communications at No 10. Who might be the friends of Boris mentioned by Glen ?  Could it be someone who shared a glass of average red wine with the Prime Minister when he was offered control of Ofcom ?
