Paper causes confusion with allusions to Johnson ‘cutting the mustard’ while being ‘in a pickle’
The Sun has baffled
Social Media users with a Thursday edition front page that appears to be attempting to support
Boris Johnson via a pie-chart made with a real pork pie, and the pun headline that Johnson is “crust” ahead.
The pie is divided into three sections, labelled “End of Covid rules”, “Partygate inquiry” and “Revolting MPs”. The largest portion of the pie – presumably the positive news in the paper’s view that Covid restrictions in
England are ending – has an arrow pointing to some mustard saying “Cutting the mustard”. On the other side a different label suggests that the prime minister is still “in a pickle”.
