A distant cousin of Boris Johnson is reported to have lent him a scattering of fruit and an old car tyre hanging from a tree branch. ‘Bubbles’ the bonobo, who is famed for his uncanny resemblance to the former PM, gave him a shedload of bananas to help fund his lavish lifestyle. He also gave Mr Johnson free use of a luxury chimp enclosure.
A spokesperson for Mr Johnson said: ‘The media should stop slinging shit at Boris. Bubbles is perfectly capable of doing that himself.’
Bubbles was not available for comment because he is a primate with an underdeveloped brain. Mr Johnson did not comment either.
