I can imagine that when that statement was blazed across the tabloids, 2% of the Electorate "Don't Knows" might have been tempted to think "Oh sod it! That's good enough for me". That 2% swung it, as we know.
Seriously, how was Johnson allowed to get away with what he did? Everyone in the country knows what a complete buffoon he is now, and would never trust him again, and yet he's still being talked about as a future PM. I just don't get it.
I'm no Corbyn follower by any means, but just fancy a General Election quandary: Corbyn or Johnson. LibDems would clean up!
There should be a law against lying to the public on such a grand scale. Johnson should be banned from Westminster if only to deter other tw*ts like him.
