Boris Johnson faces criticism today after calling Jeremy Corbyn "monstrous" - for saying something he said himself 12 years ago.

The Tory Foreign Secretary slammed the Labour leader in a high-profile press conference with his US counterpart, Rex Tillerson.

It came after Mr Corbyn linked Western foreign policy to the rise of terrorism in his first speech since the Manchester terror attack today.

He said we "must be brave enough" to admit the war on terror has failed, and "that assessment in no way reduces the guilt of those who attack our children."

...

In the strongest condemnation of Mr Corbyn yet, he said: "Now is not the time to do anything to subtract from the fundamental responsibility of those individuals, that individual in particular, who committed this atrocity.

"And I think it is absolutely monstrous that anybody should seek to do so.”

There was just one problem - Mr Johnson has made similar comments himself.

...
And those comments, like Mr Corbyn's, were in the raw aftermath of a terror attack.

Mr Johnson wrote in the Spectator one week after the London bombings: "It is difficult to deny that they have a point, the Told-You-So brigade.

"As the Butler report revealed, the Joint Intelligence Committee assessment in 2003 was that a war in Iraq would increase the terror threat to Britain.

"The Iraq war did not create the problem of murderous Islamic fundamentalists, though the war has unquestionably sharpened the resentments felt by such people in this country, and given them a new pretext.

"The Iraq war did not introduce the poison into our bloodstream but, yes, the war did help to potentiate that poison."

quote:

The top Conservative was attacking the Labour leader live on Channel 4 News this evening.

It came after Mr Corbyn said we "must be brave enough" to admit the war on terror has failed in a landmark speech following the Manchester suicide bombing.

Presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy read out a quote to Mr Fallon: "Isn't it possible that things like the Iraq war did not create the problem of murderous Islamic fundamentalists, though the war has unquestionably sharpened the resentments felt by such people in this country and given them a new pretext?"

Mr Fallon thought this was a comment from Mr Corbyn's speech and went on the attack: "Well they are not entitled to excuses."

But he was left dumbfounded when he found out they were actually words from an article by Boris a week after the 7/7 bombings in 2005.

Mr Guru-Murthy said: "Those are actually the words of Boris Johnson, the foreign secretary.

"He goes on to say, 'the Iraq war did not introduce the poison into our bloodstream but, yes, the war did help to potentiate that poison'."

A flustered Mr Fallon said: "Well I don't agree with that."

The presenter replied: "So Boris Johnson, the foreign secretary, is wrong?"

None of the Tories have even a thimblefull of the charisma that Trump has, so of course it's not working. Trump would have just blown through that Johnson quote, he wouldn't have gotten flustered and spent a couple seconds trying to formulate a response.
