Fancy giving the Prime Minister a ring? Well, there’s no reason why you can’t.

Here we have it. A direct line to the Prime Minister, a chance to ask him everything we want and to provide much-needed scrutiny for our readers.
But when indy100 gave Johnson a morning call, we were met with his answer phone message. And when we sent him a WhatsApp greeting, we were met with the dreaded ‘one tick’ - meaning that it had been successfully sent but not received by Johnson.
What a shame. Perhaps he is still asleep?
