If Johnson genuinely believed the press held him to account, he would move to dismantle it

Like he is seeking to with an independent judiciary, parliamentary scrutiny, an impartial civil service and diplomatic corp, and so on

Any effective check or balance is to be undermined https://twitter.com/BorisJohnson/status/1302217031241138177">https://twitter.com/BorisJohn...

And for reply guys who will distort that tweet into support for the disruption to the press, please see this earlier tweet https://twitter.com/davidallengreen/status/1302201661457338370">https://twitter.com/davidalle...

Johnson and Cummings should loathe the press as much as they do & #39;activist lawyers& #39;

But they do not

(And ps, yes I am limiting replies to tweets - to make using this platform manageable - the alternative would be me not tweeting at all

You are still free to comment by way of QTs - and I will engage when I can, and even add to threads when a good counter point is raised)
