Boris Johnson has released a new video with his “Vision for Britain,” which is being intensely mocked online.
In the new video the Tory leader appears to have edited footage of his first speech as prime minister, removing two words from his NHS funding pledge, “this week” referring to an earlier campaign promise, which has since been referred to as a “broken promise”
In the clip he said:
My job is to make sure you don’t have to wait three weeks to see your GP.
And we start work…with 20 new hospital upgrades and ensuring that the money for the NHS really does get to the frontline.”
In the original, he had said:

"Shallow platitudes"
@BorisJohnson I like the way you had to include inspirational music to distract away from the shallow platitudes you were retching out.— Graham Lithgow (@Graham Lithgow) 1565940646
