Boris Johnson shoots selfie video in fighter jet: “Flyed fantastic looping”

STORY: Boris Johnson goes Top Gun. In this selfie video, the British Prime Minister sits in the cockpit of a Royal Air Force Typhoon fighter jet, which took place last week. On Monday, the prime minister reported on his adventure on demand at an air show, in his own entertaining Johnson manner. “The lieutenant colonel said to me, ‘Do you want to try it?’ And I said, ‘Are you sure, that seems quite expensive to me. We only have 148 of these and each one costs £75m.’ And he said, ‘Don’t worry. You can’t break it.’ And I was like, well, famous last words. And so I pushed the joystick to the right and we did a roll. I pulled it right back and we did an amazing loop.” In retrospect, according to the media, he is said to have compared the thrill experience in a speech with the turbulent time in Downing Street. In the past, Boris Johnson has survived a number of political loopings more or less unscathed. In the meantime, the field of possible successors is thinning out. The person in charge of his office as party leader is automatically also at the head of the government. Johnson has announced that he intends to remain in office until a successor is found.
