Voice of the Mirror: 'Boris is on the side of super rich who bankroll Tories'

Boris Johnson is a charlatan who has sold out Britain by being in the pocket of billionaires who bought the Tory Party.

The fact that one-in-three of the super rich bankrolled the Conservatives, including 10 since Johnson declared he wanted to be PM, is a sign of the elite undermining democracy.

Tight caps on individual political donations are urgently required, ensuring the fundamental principle of one person one vote isn’t superseded by Fat Cats with equally fat wallets.

Postponing a capital gains tax was loose change for billionaires, particularly when earlier Tory tax cuts are estimated to have gifted £100million to the obscenely monied.

The more this elite is frightened that Jeremy Corbyn and his party will build a fairer country, the more grafters will warm to Labour.

Politics boils down to whose side you are on and Johnson’s party is the political wing of vested financial interests.

Royal pain

Prince Andrew's interview at Buckingham Palace ruffled some feathers (Getty Images/DeAgostini)

Pressure on Prince Andrew will ­intensify when accuser Virginia Giuffre, known previously as Virginia Roberts, gives a tell-all interview to the BBC.

Her claims she was forced to have sex with him at the age of 17 will keep the Queen’s shifty third child in the headlines, the great British public weighing her testimony against his.

Failing to express sympathy for victims of his paedophile friend Jeffrey Epstein and defending the relationship were two of Prince Andrew’s biggest mistake. The worst was to agree to be ­questioned when his answers, to many ears, lacked ­credibility.

We appeal to Ghislaine Maxwell, accused of procuring women for Epstein and his cronies, to speak publicly too about whatever she did.

This terrible scandal threatens to damage the institution of the monarchy.

Winged it

The turkeys that escaped from a Suffolk farm didn’t want to meet a fowl end.

The desperate birds that went on the run understandably prefer freedom to dinner plates.
