  1. ***The Telegraph reports:***

    A listening device was found in Boris Johnson’s personal bathroom at the Foreign Office after it had been used by Benjamin Netanyahu, the former Prime Minister has claimed.

    Mr Johnson has alleged that when the Israeli Prime Minister visited his department in 2017, his security team found bugging devices in the toilets after he had used the facilities.

    During their meeting in his old office, Mr Johnson says Mr Netanyahu, who he calls Bibi, excused himself to go to the bathroom, which Mr Johnson describes as similar to “the gents in a posh London club” which exist within a “secret annexe”.

    In his book, ‘Unleashed’, Mr Johnson writes: “Thither Bibi repaired for a while, and it may or may not be a coincidence but I am told that later, when they were doing a regular sweep for bugs, they found a listening device in the thunderbox.”

    When asked during an interview with The Telegraph if he could give any more detail on what happened, Mr Johnson said: “I think everything you need to know about that episode is in the book.”

  2. Netanyahu placed the bugs himself? Or does Netanyahu have a security team that checks the bathroom?

  3. I find bugs in my bathroom all the time. Just yesterday I found a couple ants in there. Is Netanyahu visiting me without my knowledge???

  4. Sometimes when I find a bug in my bathroom I think it should make national headlines, but that’s just because I’m afraid of spiders

    What kind of bug tho, a fly, a cricket, or maybe even a millipede? We need to know Boris!

  6. Plot twist, Netanyahu personally bugs every bathroom he uses because he has a scat fetish

    But… why the bathroom? What top secret info would he think he was going to get there? That Boris Johnson is nasty? I think we could have already assumed that.

    dumb place for a bug. how did they differentiate between him speaking and him passing wind?

    So it could have been anyone, but because bibi used the bathroom at some point in the day, they attribute it to him?

  10. Bibi is buggin’ on a stack.
    Edit: A serious thought: Are we sure Boris isn’t just making all of this up so people pay attention to him again?

    Shocker. Netanyahu is as much a thug as Putin. Possibly more conniving, which would be more impressive if it wasn’t so depressing.

  12. He’s as clueless as we all thought if he doesn’t realize every country is doing this to every other country at all times.

    Or it is a hit job by a guy with an ego that requires constant stoking with unearned attention…

  13. ‘After being informed of the bug, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson exclaimed that Bibi was a great, supine, protoplasmic invertebrate jelly.’
