Boris Johnson’s spokesman blames a “technical error” for tweeting a congratulatory message to Joe Biden which contained parts of an alternative message congratulating Trump instead.

Boris Johnson's message of congratulation to President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris carries remnants of an earlier version which appears to congratulate President Trump for winning the election instead.

Closer inspection of the image, when it was adjusted by photo-editing tools, shows the outline of Trump's name beneath where Biden's is written. The UK Prime Minister on Saturday congratulated Biden and Harris with a statement on Twitter that was posted as an image.

omg, GB is really in the trouble with such a joker in charge.

BUFFOON !!!

stephen82728429 No it just shows that Johnson is lazy the same message just fit right name.

Femi_Sorry Was it the same guy who built the spreadsheet tracking Covid cases?

Boris: “He loves me” “He loves me not” “He loves me” “He loves me not” “He loves me” “He loves me not” Dom: “Oh, FFS, send it to one of them”

JaneyGodley Technical error? Did Dido do it?

Femi_Sorry And people wonder why I doubt we will see the covid vaccine in this UK before next year. The idiots in charge couldn’t organise an orgy in a nunnery.

JaneyGodley Omg they can’t even get a tweet right.

JaneyGodley Hahahahaha

JaneyGodley They meant to say Joe Biden Total Landscaping.

JaneyGodley The buffoon was pissed. As if anyone is in any doubt.

Femi_Sorry So? Surely the sentiments are the same whoever wins? “Congratulations, well done, special relationship, common language, looking forward to working with you to make the world a better place yada yada yada”.

Femi_Sorry He can't even get a tweet right let alone run this country

This inept government cannot get even the simplest thing right. 🤷‍♂️

Seems Johnson writes two diametrically opposed responses to every situation.

Femi_Sorry Sincerity shining through every word (as usual).

Femi_Sorry At least it said Biden rather than ‘insert name here’!!

World beating at being shit. Doesn’t do details like the WA and then scratches out his mistakes.

hawkins_carole What. A. Hopeless. Wanker.

I think we have a 'technical error' for prime minister tbh.

Femi_Sorry Always has two letters for every occasion

Sweden never imposed a national lockdown/mandatory mask wearing. Sweden has fewer deaths per million than the United Kingdom. It's not because of population density, Stockholm has fewer deaths than Manchester (a similar size city). Why do Brits have to live in a police state?

Femi_Sorry Is this not a joke? I mean...

Well he is a liar so

Superforecasters strike again. I was going to say crack superforecasters but felt that might be open to mis-understanding.

Diplomatic incident, more like. Morons.

Femi_Sorry 😂😂😂😂 They can’t even get a tweet right 😂😂😂😂.

Femi_Sorry I wouldn't put it past Johnson to have done this deliberately, just as a F*** you to Biden. He is contemptuous of both detail and endeavour. NotMyGovernment

Femi_Sorry Embarrassing

Femi_Sorry Piss up and brewery..

Femi_Sorry It is not technical, it is on purpose.

Femi_Sorry Getting the gender of his spokesPERSON right would be useful. It's Allegra Stratton, definitely not a man.

Femi_Sorry The technical error between keyboard and chair.

Jimmibabe Didn't he pay enough tax payers money for IT lessons

Femi_Sorry If he'd written Biden a paper letter it would have been on the back of where he doodles dicks. This is the level of incompetence we're dealing with every day.

Femi_Sorry Jesus. Literally cannot even send a fucking tweet correctly 🤷‍♂️

Femi_Sorry Is the technical error known under the title Boris Johnson?

Femi_Sorry So slick 🤣

Femi_Sorry There is literally nothing these gobshites can't fuck up. And they are going to distribute 40 million vaccines? Jesus.

Femi_Sorry 'technical error' = 'neither the Ctrl nor N keys worked so we couldn't just start a new image'? What a farce.

Femi_Sorry So many technical errors ..... so many

Femi_Sorry CaptainMonty69 I blame incompetence

Femi_Sorry “Technical error”. Aka “ineptitude”. Which HMG seems to excel at. One of the few things they do excel at. Perhaps the only......

Femi_Sorry Well, he does have form for the 'two versions' thing.

With all those IT lessons you would think he could do better.

Femi_Sorry Oh FFS....

Femi_Sorry Attention to detail has never been his strong point 🙄

All together now: LOL

Don’t tell me he wrote two.

Wait, so you shouldn't use Excel to manage the Test and trace database, and now you're saying you shouldn't use MS Paint to make social media graphics. Who knew?

Ouffffff

He’ll have to retrack in couple days anyway

This really can't be accidental. Why take the trouble to edit in this way when it is simpler to do a new one, or one for each outcome?

No wonderBiden hasn’t contacted him yet

Is that what he calls Chloe Westley now?

Anyone with a working knowledge of digital design will know that it's near impossible to do this by accident. I'd be most interested to hear from any user of InDesign, CorelDraw, Photoshop - whatever - a step-by-step walkthrough explaining how this 'technical error' 'occurred'.

World-beating diplomacy.

One of the most important messages he will ever send and he just couldn't be arsed. Faecal Midas.

That 'Technical Error' being 74 Million Americans Voting for the 'Wrong' Candidate .... 🤨

I mean this is fantastic ..it means yes they are thick as fuck and can't read the political floor but also they are thick as fuck and have no plans of how to deal with Biden🤷👏🤡

Cunning error! Biden ToryShambles

sazmeister88 Biden Tweet - So Johnson is entirely superfluous; not composing; not reading; not even tweeting one of the most important media posts needed during the UK’s road to Brexit. He really is a total waste of space. JohnsonHasFailedTheNation

AdamBienkov Photopea is literally free, no excuse to be using Microsoft Paint

Who actually cares? You should be more worried about checking your own errors 🤦🏽‍♂️

(Insert name here) who cares.

He’s also a moron.

Is this a made up story?

AdamBienkov Is now a good time to ask how the new border technology is coming along in time for 1st January?

More good news please(((

AdamBienkov Does anyone know how such a technical error can occur? Surely, one just creates two images and chooses one of them?

AdamBienkov Does this govt get anything right? ShapeShiftingCreeps

SoyJesusTarre que te parece esto?

Lol Biden already didn't like this guy.

Same trump incompetence energy
