UP THE MARINERS! PRIME MINISTER 'CHUFFED' TO BE PRESENTED WITH GRIMSBY TOWN SHIRT

                                                                      

I am sure you'll look great in it - Grimsby's MP (that's her on the right) presents the Mariners shirt

THE Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, Grimsby MP Lia Nici and Cleethorpes MP Martin Vickers decided to interrupt their hectic work schedules to do a bit of early electioneering.

Ms Nici posted this photograph on social media earlier this week.

She explains it thus: "The last time I saw Boris I promised to get him a GTFC shirt to match his GTFC bobble hat that he wore on holiday in Scotland. 

"He is chuffed with it!

"I was meeting him to highlight the help that non-Premier League football teams need to keep going. 

"Of course, it had to be a Number 10 shirt!"

Ms Nici adds: "I  also met with the Chancellor, Rishi Sunak today to talk about support for local businesses ahead of the Spending Review."

Sadly (or happily), Mr Johnson declined to pose actually wearing the shirt.

No comment has yet been forthcoming either from Mr Vickers, who pre-lockdown has always been a regular at Blundell Park, or from Mr Johnson.
