Actually, the best bit about this clip is Johnson holding his arm out to try the alpha male back pat thing (think Cameron and Clegg in 2010 walking into 10 Downing Street), and Nicola just having none of it.
Boris Johnson arrives at Bute House for his meeting with Nicola Sturgeon, to a chorus of boos from the crowd.

This apology would be fine if the mistake had been in a tweet. But it was broadcast on TV, so let's have the apology given similar prominence.
This week I made a factual error in a report on the BBC 6 o’clock news. For which I apologise. I mistakenly used the annual figure for A&E waiting times in Scotland instead of the weekly one. As soon as I realised my error I changed the report for all subsequent broadcasts.
