Tweets made by Boris Johnson's new cost of living tsar, David Buttress, show that he was once a fervent critic of the Prime Minister. Social media sleuths have discovered some of these historic tweets which reveal that the former Just Eat CEO, was no big fan of Boris Johnson.
On January 11, as Partygate allegations began to emerge, Buttress tweeted: "Why is it that the worse people often rise to the highest office and stay there...Boris has to go, he just as to. You can't survive judgement like this."
David Buttress has accused the Prime Minister of gambling and playing fast and loose with the UK economy. He also thinks Boris Johnson lacks the intelligence to be Prime Minister. On 23 January, he wrote on Twitter: "Never confuse an expensive education with intelligence or integrity. I don't think Boris is particularly blessed with either, imagine if he had not had the many privileges he has experienced. Does anyone believe he would be PM on merit? Not a chance mate. 19 PM's from Eton."
Downing Street said that the tweets (many have now been deleted), were "not relevant" to Mr Buttress's new position. If David Buttress is a man of the world, then surely he must realise, that it's not only the cream that the rises to the top, but also the scum. The ancient Greeks, always said that in a democracy the people get the government they deserve, and they deserve what they get.
