Only Corbyn’s socially just programme can answer the ruthless, racist, elitist Boris Johnson, writes MARK SERWOTKA

BORIS JOHNSON’S shambolic record and divisive rhetoric may have won over the Tory membership, but I’d like to see him go up against Jeremy Corbyn and try that same tactic on the public: we need a general election now.

Johnson has lied and deceived his way to the biggest political job in this country and he’s left in his wake a trail of failure, incompetence and disgustingly offensive remarks.

He is a self-serving racist, Islamophobic, homophobic elitist with a ruthless drive to get to the top. He isn’t fit to lead a parish council, never mind the country.
