I came across this passage about a well-known national leader.
For someone who has made a career out of lying, [He] is surprisingly bad at it. His tell-tale giveaways would be obvious to a five-year-old. He smirks, his eyes dart sideways and his arms shoot out in strange directions. This must be horribly familiar to so many women.
Worse, [he] is utterly shameless in his lying.
…He’d repeated a few untruthful slogans over and over again and it was job done. As so often, no one had really laid a finger on him because he is so well-defended. Often he doesn’t even realise he’s lying, it’s so deeply embedded. He has become the nation’s voice of mendacity. The man who lies so we don’t have to. Lucky us.
It is Guardian columnist describing Boris Johnson’s performance in a debate with Jeremy Corbyn a couple of days ago.
Trump and Johnson. What a pair. They were made for each other.

The Guardian aren’t the only ones:
LA Times Editorial: We’ve seen enough. Trump should be impeached

Still Corbyn very well might lose traditional working class districts …..
