Boris Johnson

Bonus Points when he said: 'Don't you know who I am, you thick peasant?'

Boris Johnson said in 2004 that he would eat his ID at a polling station in protest if the law ever required it.

In 2022, he passed a law requiring ID to vote and dismissed criticism it would stop people voting.

In 2024, he forgot his ID when trying to vote and was turned away.

Boris Johnson, whose government introduced voter ID for voting, was turned away from a polling station today because he’d forgotten his… voter ID.

Nobody is going to continue to pay you tens of thousands of dollars a year to attend your university if you set the police on your students. No student is ever going to vote for your party if you tell the universities to set the police on them. You lose this generation, you lose.

Somebody's full of shit and it aint the kids.

The Conservatives 'can't win' in London.

That's what their own strategists are telling journalists now:
