Expressions tell all
Boris Johnson – in yet another closed-off, tightly-managed PR stunt avoiding real public interaction – has today saddled a small group of long-suffering Tetley tea workers with his presence when they were just trying to enjoy their hard-earned break:
Even Johnson looked bored with himself, but the expressions on the faces of the poor ‘captive audience’ tell all – including the woman whose eye has been caught by colleague off-camera and is trying to suppress the urge to laugh.

Johnson’s rare encounters with actual people seem always to end in disaster – but his stage-managed PR stunts don’t go that much better.

Johnson: Can’t even run a tea party in a tea factory
As the gimlet stares of the workers turned to sniggers, Boris realised someone had slipped some used teabags on to his seat.
Just remembered, that after a wet walk in the morning, he’d forgot to remove his dog from the Brexit microwave.
jobwise, thinking a change might be on the cards, do you think I’d fit in here..?
Caption reads: ” is this Earl Grey or Darjeeling? I don’t normally drink what the plebs wah sorry workers drink”…
I think the woman, who has a mischievous look on her face, is thinking: ‘If only they knew what is in that tea. Time will tell’.
It’s not Koolaid… they will never suspect!
I’m not everyone’s cup of tea but how can I mug you all off. Dom ?Dommmmmm ?
These compulsory tea breaks will soon be a thing of the past.
I didn’t realise that being a corporate bootlicker would be this sordid and dirty…
They said I needed a daily shot of bromide during the election.
Couldn’t organise a brew up in a tea factory
We’ve had that one! (See Mike Cushman above)
If only eric pickles hadn’t spaffed all the money on biscuits…
Gobshite on PR visit toTetley tea factory is given job of checking each & every one of the 2000 perforations in every teabag…
I think I will go back to PGTips after watching that farce…never did like Tetleys now I know why.!
I’ve left the gas cooker on at Cleverly’s, he’s toast anyway!

From the man right next to him: he not only talk shit, he smells…
Vlad Johnson: “Well I’m just flabbergasted, that’s all I can say.”
“Here I am, dressed like a worker, drinking tea out of a working class mug and you have the audacity to ask me to pay into the tea break kitty, what a cheek!”
“You seem to forget that it was me, out of the goodness of my heart, who gave you all Zero Hour contracts…and there’s a Food Bank down the road, plenty of beans there to feed you kids if they’re hungry, that is what you working class types eat isn’t it? I mean…we could always give you some cake.”
“Bit of a cheek bringing his Harrods tea bag!”
Oh dear! I thought when you said we were going to tea party I thought it would be the republican one not this?
Your Tory-supporting boss says that if any of you say anything which might embarrass me, you’ll be fired.
“Just one more shot for the manifesto cover”
:”Don’t worry Tata Global Beverages (owners of Tetley) won’t replace you with 100,000 cheaper Indians until I get brexit done and sign the trade deal with India… “
Why don’t you fuck off to PG Tips, their monkeys are more intelligent than you
I’m…uh..apparently, very …uh … clever. So what the f*ck am I doing here!
Please, continue talking. I always yawn when I’m engrossed
What are Boris and Domonic hiding?
