Image of a news headline with a photo of Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak toasting pints of beer in a pub. Headline reads:

“Boris Johnson says people should work in-person again because when he works from home he gets distracted by cheese.”

    Unfortunately, things like this were deliberate, and extremely savvy. I believe this one was due to a story about the British cheese industry being hurt badly by Brexit. His comment pushed that story off the front page, when people searched for cheese, along with terms like Brexit. Basically, his comment was to bury a negative story.
