I doubt there are many people who haven’t seen that clip. Here’s a nice concise list too:

What did you like best when he was Mayor EnFinale? Closing all the fire stations or wasting all the money on the (non-existent) garden bridge?

@Tootyfilou what utter crap. The Tories are no worse than Labour.

Boris Johnston and his ilk are selling us up the river because fundamentally they don’t care about us. They will be protected from the worst of Brexit because they are super rich. They don’t use the NHS, they don’t use schools or are dependant in public transport.
Boris can go boil his and Rees-Moggs head.

I don't think that link proves he is 'fabulous', how odd. Quite the reverse. Why do you think that, @Snowy111?

Have you seen his debate with Mary Beard? Where as someone with an undergraduate degree he thought he could take on a professor. Unsurprisingly she is much better than him.

That list again :
The life and times of Boris Johnson, actual Prime Minister

2. Sacked from Tory front-bench for lying about an affair

3. Had police called to his house during his actual job interview as PM

Boris is an arse. The only thing he is any good for is providing material for "Mock the Week" or "Have I got News for You".

Oh for fuck sakes. This is why Christmas is going to horrific. How can anyone believe they are no better than Labour? They are the nastiest most self serving arseholes. Student accommodation with flammable cladding burnt down yesterday - we learnt nothing from Grenfell.

11. Blew £46m on a garden bridge that has never had a single brick laid

12. Referred to investigations into sexual abuse as "spaffing up the wall"

13. Referred to Islamic women as looking like "bank robbers" and "post-boxes"

14. Lied repeatedly that 80 million people from Turkey would come to UK if we didn't leave EU

16. Doubled rough-sleeping during his tenure as Mayor of London

17. Refused to take part in a press conference because he might be jeered at

29. Referred to Commonweath citizens as "picaninnies" (racist term for black children)

30. Suggested reinstating British control over former colonies - essentially restarting The Empire

31. And, of course, illegally prorogued parliament, and lied about it to parliament, the public, the queen, and the Supreme Court.

I could add more to this list - he’s still building up the lies eg last week about no customs checks between NI and UK. He is a pathological liar of dubious character. Why are the Tory party and voters not bothered by this?

A PM to be proud of! - not
