| Description | Boris Johnson has made his first intervention in the election campaign to accuse Jeremy Corbyn of being a security threat and not just a “mutton-headed old mugwump”.
After speculation that the Conservative party was hiding the foreign secretary away during the campaign, Johnson used an article in the Sun to claim that the Labour leader had “no grasp of the need for this country to be strong in the world”.
Johnson used a combination of blunt and characteristically idiosyncratic language to ridicule Corbyn’s leadership credentials.
He claimed the electorate should not be fooled by Corbyn’s “meandering and nonsensical questions”. He added: “They say to themselves: he may be a mutton-headed old mugwump, but he is probably harmless.
“It is absolutely vital for Britain’s security that we have the strong, stable and decisive leadership of Theresa May.” |
