Stopping the Tory extremists
Boris Johnson’s Brexit big top is collapsing around him, writes TSSA general secretary MANUEL CORTES

WHAT IS needed in a crisis is clarity and it is absolutely crystal-clear Boris Johnson is now Prime Minister in name only.

Labour and Jeremy Corbyn have played a blinder this week by boxing in this sorry excuse for a Prime Minister. His record speaks volumes — no other occupant of 10 Downing Street has ever lost their first three votes in the Commons.

This is a man not trusted even in his own family, never mind on his own benches. This is a man who naturally cleaves to the Trumpian alt-right lies about negotiations with the European Union (EU), who swears and makes sexist remarks at the Despatch Box.

In short — he is wholly unfit to lead our country. Even his own brother Jo has walked out and Ken Clarke, the father of the House and one of the Tory rebels, has called Johnson “disingenuous.”
