BOJO- "look at what I said I would do and look at what we did." he's using this as a reason why people should trust him. Right now on @LBC with @NickFerrariLBC
Seriously guys listen in. @NickFerrariLBC is doing a brilliant job. This is not a sycophantic fly by, he really is holding him accountable
Bojo just said UK is geographically closer to Beijing than New Zealand is. (forgot about all the land in between and the well travelled shipping lanes New Zealand uses)
"You said you would be dead in a ditch. Why should anyone believe you?! I'm delighted you're not dead in a ditch but you shouldn't even be sitting here!"
BOJO- "Nick, in your life, have you ever seen the Conservative party in such harmony?" NF- Lord Heseltine is urging everyone to vote lib Dem! I would hate to see disharmony!

Points out everyone who disagrees has already left the party
Re the nurses: NF-"they're not new are they?!" BOJO "No they're not that's correct I said more." still quoting his ridiculous numbers

Now Nick is ripping into him re the new hospital numbers

Waiting for the nurse on the line to respond...
- Nurse Janet
"It's done nothing to convince me to get up to go to work on Monday. Not at all. I work in a shiny new building that was built by PFI that has crippled us."
Q-Is your party going to take blame for cutting police officers and now admitting that?

A- piffle waffle youth centres, brings up his time as mayor. He wants young people to have more opportunities, apprenticeships etc

NF- how does it work?!
NF- Who are these apprenti9 schemes with?

Bojo - timsons shoe repair. They mend people's souls in many ways

NF- you don't know any other companies involved do you. Again, it's detail.
Bojo blaming the current mayor of London. I guess the rest of the police officers cut don't matter across the rest of the country?

NF- YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT CATS WHERE IS MOGGY?! WHERE IS JACOB REESE MOGG?!!!
BOJO- stop and search is brilliant. They can stop and search without suspicion. But you NEED that. You need to give police the backing. When we did this you massively cut knife crime... Quotes some wrong figures and NF calls him on it. New police are the ones you cut it
What did you say to JRM?! FOLLOWING HIS COMMENTS HERE. HOW ANGRY WERE YOU WITH HIM? WILL YOU BRING HIM BACK? WILL MOGGY BE ABLE TO RECLINE IN FELINE EXCELLENCE AT THE HOUSE OF COMMONS?!

Bojo - we have to get brexit done
Conservative voter phoning in accusing him of being scared to discuss the climate. Bojo says he can't possibly do every debate
NF- Why were you so late getting to Yorkshire?

BOJO- stutter stutter. We did a huge amount and stand ready to do more. This government is second to none across Europe.
Is it true you are reviewing channel 4s license.

NF- gives him direct quote

Bojo - I want a free press. I think a free press is the best...
A SINGLE MUM PHONES IN. WHY ARE YOU HAPPY TO CRITICISE PEOPLE LIKE ME AND REFUSE TO DISCUSS YOUR FAMILY?

NF- quotes him directly

BOJO- SIGHS LOUDLY. I mean no disrespect these are 25 year old quotations. The article bears no resemblance to what is claimed. Blames Labour
NF- you wrote this at the time but you didn't think it??!

BOJO- quotations are used to distract
BOJO- read my lips for the lifetime of the parliament we will not raise income tax or VAT.

*************
Ps- read my lips is a quote of George HW. Bush
NF- THERE IS A TRUST ISSUE HOW MANY CHILDREN DO YOU HAVE

BOJO- I LOVE MY CHILDREN THEY AREN'T STANDING FOR ELECTION

NF- ARE YOU FULLY INVOLVED IN ALL THEIR LIVES?!!

BOJO- we have a fantastic agenda
Caller brings up the Russia report

BOJO- this whole thing is a massive distraction. I know absolutely no evidence that Russia or indeed any other power has successfully otherwise interfered in the politics of this country.
NF- when will see the report

BOJO- it will be released in due course.

Caller is not convinced
Will you be interviewed by Andrew Neil??

Bojo- what people really want to hear is what are we doing to take the UK forward
Question re Corbyn not apologising again (he had previously) on the infamous interview

- Bojo - I think he's not in control, there's a culture of anti semitism in the Labour Party.

NF- Brings up Islamaphobic comments

Bojo - I am deeply sorry for the offence caused
I get you're upset for the offence. Are you upset for using this words?

Bojo- distractions, we have amazing plans based on our love of this country

NF- so you stand by the words
Caller phone in asking about post Grenfell renew cladding. Also asks if JRM will keep his job

Bojo- we are working as fast as we can (2 and half years). The problem is there are other types of cladding that are inadequate. I want to look at this whole thing from top to bottom
Bojo continued... In my view, brings up London. I never liked it when developers said they wanted cladding and I always insisted on brick.
Re Hillsborough - it's not right for me to comment on a legal process, but they have my sympathy
BOJO- What happened to Lord B is appalling. Whether the police should be held accountable, I haven't studied the case closely enough. If it is possible to have legal redress that should be solved.
Trump visit is brought up
Bojo- we don't traditionally get involved in each others elections.
Brings up Barack Obama's intervention about Brexit.
Brings up Michael Bloomberg who he calls Mike...
He has no idea how much a Greggs sausage roll costs apparently. BOJO- I've also had vegan sausage rolls.
And that's it. It's over thankfully!
