Read our privacy policy A former adviser to UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been widely mocked online for saying “a million made up things” about Johnson’s resignation on Tucker Carlson Tonight. Thomas Corbett-Dillon told Fox News viewers there was “chaos” following the resignation of Mr Johnson, but appeared to forget to mention a number of reputational scandals responsible for his downfall. During the same segment on Tucker Carlson Tonight, Mr Corbett-Dillon – whose Twitter account is no longer visible – continued by accusing Mr Johnson of “sucking up” to UK allies including France’s Emmanuel Macron and former German chancellor Angela Merkel, although it was unclear what for. “He became woke, he fully signed up to this Greta Thunberg idea of ‘the world is ending’ which is not what the Conservative people voted for,” Mr Corbett-Dillon argued, before attacking the UK’s tougher approach on Covid pandemic lockdowns.
