Johnson showing ‘scary degree of incompetence’ if Trump's claim that he asked him for ventilators is true
Global Justice Now says it hopes the PM's ‘desire to turn Britain into a US satellite state is not taking precedence over the urgent need to save lives’
Boris Johnson chairs the morning Covid-19 Meeting remotely after self isolating after testing positive for the coronavirus, at 10 Downing Street, last Saturday
BORIS JOHNSON asking Donald Trump for help in obtaining extra ventilators for coronavirus patients shows a “scary degree of incompetence,” Global Justice Now told the Star.
The campaigning group was responding to the US president’s claim that the Prime Minister had made a “plea” for him to help.
Mr Trump said that he called Mr Johnson after the latter had been diagnosed with coronavirus and asked how he was doing. He claimed that Mr Johnson’s first words to him were “we need ventilators.”
