Boris claims Joe Biden 'nicked' his 'building back better' slogan at G7 Summit

Boris Johnson urged the G7 leaders to work together on 'building back better' from the pandemic.

He jokingly claimed it was a slogan that Mr Biden had used too, adding: 'I think he may have nicked it from us but I certainly nicked it from somewhere else - probably some UN disaster relief programme.'

US President Joe Biden could be seen laughing on the video call on the screen inside the Cabinet Room.

I guess they all nicked it from the World Economic Forum, and its fearless leader Dr. Strangelove.

Isnt 'build back better' a great reset term? Boris just a stooge.

[lemdixon]

No, it's part of the great reset slogan.

Build back better = making the elite pigs kings and the rest of us the sheep still think it means we all sit at the same table and not fighting for the scraps smh

Build back better is merely a way to get us to accept weirdo enviro extremism on the back end of people's suffering. Return to normal while we still have an economy.

No to vaccine passports, sign the parliament petition.

Build back better is linked to the world economic forums and UN ‘2030 sustainability goals’. Fact. He knows full well what the slogans linked to.

Build back better or in other words let the rich get richer and the poor get screwed over again

[simongarthwaite]

What about Trudeau and mad Jacinda in New Zealand who did they nick it from?

[concernedcitizen]

Biden, Johnson, Trudeau and Ardern have all used it - given to them by their boss, the Bond villain.

[sunjayroy]

“He nicked it” - The perfect excuse to anyone questioning why Boris & Biden were using coordinated messaging in the build up to the 2020 election.

[fliipso]
