COMPARING misbehaving children pretending to be superheroes to the PJ Masks is unfair on the star if the kid’s TV show, according to the SNP.
Responding to a bizarre interview in which Boris Johnson’s top political strategist Dominic Cummings made reference to the cartoon when asked about HS2 – a proposed high-speed railway between London and Birmingham – Pete Wishart said the Government had “lost the plot”.
"Comparing misbehaving children pretending to be superheroes to the PJ Masks is an unfair comparison,” he said.
“This is a government that has lost the plot and it would be welcome if Cummings and the Tory Cabinet followed the PJ Masks into the night.”
When leaving his home this morning – following Boris Johnson’s announcement to go ahead with HS2 – Cummings was asked if he’d lost his influence given he was a vocal critic of the railway.
He responded: “The night time is the right time to fight crime. I can’t think of a rhyme.”
He went on to say that the PJ Masks could do a better job than the UK Cabinet “put together”.

Meanwhile, in some excellent investigative journalism, the BBC’s Nick Eardly discovered that the first-ever PJ Masks show was about a fast train which disappears.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
