GMB's Adil Ray takes savage swipe at Boris Johnson as he returns to ITV breakfast show
Boris Johnson upon his return to Good Morning Britain.The 47-year-old comedian was back on our screens for the first time this year on Tuesday morning alongside regular host Susanna Reid.Conversation quickly turned to the fact that Mr Johnson has called for "workplace alcohol ban" inside Number 10 Downing Street after "Partygate".Adil and Susanna welcomed former Dragons' Den star Declan Ballatyne and The Apprentice winner Tim Campbell to join the discussion. Before the segment, Adil was seen wheeling in a suitcase full of alcohol stating: "I'm ready for work now."He continued: "I'd be welcomed to Downing Street with this."Susanna agreed as Adil offered broadcaster Charlotte Hawkins an alcoholic beverage.Mr Johnson is understood to have discussed the illicit parties that were held within Downing Street with the Cabinet Office's Sue Gray, who is leading the inquiry ahead of its publishing which could come as early as this week.Whitehall appears to already be bracing for Ms Gray's findings, with the Prime Minister launching a pre-emptive 'policy blitz' in an attempt to push back against the biggest crisis he has endured since taking office in 2019.An end to Downing Street's drinking culture has been mooted as a large part of a wider policy shake-up dubbed Operation Red Meat in the wake of the party scandal.
