If #BorisJohnson was ‘ambushed with a cake’, he won’t be much use against Russia
The latest excuse for Boris Johnson being involved in Downing Street parties – relating to his birthday party on June 20, 2020 – is that he was “ambushed with a cake”.
"He was ambushed with a cake."
A Conservative MP says that a birthday celebration held in Downing Street for Boris Johnson wasn't a "premeditated party".

We’ve all had a bit of fun with it:
"We shall fight on the beaches"
– Churchill"The lady's not for turning"
– Thatcher"I was ambushed by a cake!"

This is especially amusing:
It is a delicious irony that Carrie Antoinette could lead to De Pfeffel losing his head because she wanted him to eat cake.

But this is a prime minister who wants us to think he can deter Russian president Vladimir Putin from invading Ukraine.
In Prime Minister’s Questions today (January 26), he said: “The UK government is bringing the West together… to have the toughest possible package of sanctions to deter President Putin from a reckless and catastrophic invasion.”
How can he expect us to believe he can deter one of the most powerful countries in the world from military action when he can’t even deter his own officials from holding an illegal party and handing him cake?
