I think if I lent my own business £700K my friends would be asking when I’d won the lottery or who I had killed.
So, following his ‘admission’ that he liked to make and paint model buses, so references to the £350m bus were shoved down the search rankings.
Now this.
I’d say coincidence but…I understand search engine optimisation and the need to have friendly subeditors to create appropriate headlines/headings.

Anyone seen this shade of turquoise before?

Wonderful stuff here from John Crace.
Do you think they’ll Kelly her instead? (or should that read “commit Kellycide”? )
Don’t think mossad will do this one, but when you look at Pfeffel’s far right American backers, who knows.
I’d go for a suicide, with a note that she can’t see him getting damaged anymore, so reluctantly ending it(all blame put on his “enemies” for raising the subject).
Although if Dearlove is involved it’ll be a tunnel again(well practiced).
Just missing an arrow?
It’s very clever…
Cummings is something of a PR genius in an IT world - but thankfully an idiot at political strategy.
When you look into his manipulation of search engines you find a few alleged examples -
The Isle of Man kipper comments and Boris waving one about?
That was about searches for Boris and UKIP.
His random mention of pork pies when they aren’t even exported to where he said?
Cockney slang.
And the really clever bit is you make him say something to distract the searches, but also incorrectly, so his opponents boost it for you.
At the time that Boris was accosted on the street in Wakefield, Rees-Mogg compared Dr David Nicholl to Andrew Wakefield – a comparison he later apologised for as it wasn’t accurate.
Google Wakefield that day and you got Rees-Mogg, instead of Boris looking a twat.
Could be a coincidence that one, but you look at the buses made from little boxes etc and anything is possible.
Boris then said that he hoped there could be a bridge to link Ireland to the mainland – a ridiculous idea that had previously been dismissed as bonkers - a great distraction of an idea re the backstop.
This was to shunt the Boris (Garden) Bridge debacle down the list.
So the new game will be, work out the upcoming quote based on the crisis of the day.
It will probably be about groping – is there a place in Sweden called Gropping that we export to?
My money is on Boris muttering that he’s released millions of pounds because these hospitals need more than just a touch-up.
Blimey. What does that say about the political strategy of those he beat in the referendum?
That they were playing by the rules?
£10m of tax payer money spent on a Project Fear leaflet? I think not.
Gideon Osborne’s punishment budget?
I think not.
(I’m here all week!)
Parliamentary democracy?
To quote Gandhi.
“I think it would be a good idea”
How gropey does this make BJ look?
The confusion with Ledsom makes it look like he’s determined to go for tongues whereas she just wants cheeks.
Wait for the slow mo.
Awkward.

In Manchester city centre the evening before Johnson’s speech.
I like the way that he pretty much ignores the Saj and goes straight in for a big old snog with Priti Patel instead. Nothing awkward there at all.
