Bit of a nightmare appearance on LBC for Boris Johnson this morning – the London Mayor managed to make two gaffes in the space of one show. Boris managed to reveal that he doesn’t know how much a tube ticket costs (perhaps because he never uses the tube – even though he’s in charge of it):

And then to top off a gaffetastic show, he got two IQ questions wrong – having opined about the importance of IQ/inequality only a few days ago:

Boris is self-destructing…
