Johnson and Schapps are just making stuff up.

It is UNTHINKABLE that the PM does not know the key strategic deliverables re Dover. UNTHINKABLE that he has not been properly briefed on it.

Just at a time when public trust is critical.

From first light (21/12/20) 33 miles of the M20 was turned into a lorry park.
The eastbound carriageway can hold up to 3,000 vehicles. Tonight, there are 945 and counting.
Earlier, the prime minister appeared to be strangely unaware of the volume of traffic that was building up

“In his press conference this afternoon, Boris Johnson told journalists there were 174 parked lorries.
At the time he was speaking, Kent Highways was telling me there were 500 in the queues and that number has risen further.”
