- Boris Johnson made a surprise appearance at a Tory campaign event where he called for voters to stop 'Starmergeddon'.
It came as part of a final push before Brits head to polling stations on Thursday for the general election.
The former PM was greeted by cheers, claps, whistles and chants of "Boris, Boris, Boris" as he made his way on stage.
James O'Brien analyses Boris Johnson's 'legacy' and asks callers: How can anyone think Boris Johnson could 'bolster Tory fortunes'?

I never got to say goodbye to my Dad because of these corrupt individuals including Boris. For that I’ll never forgive or forget 🤬
Boris: the oaf in chief. He's shafted everyone. Our memories of him are fresh and we all hold him in contempt.
Daily mail headlines,fantastic tory drivel
Why was Johnson popular?
It wasn't because of his policies or because of his record.
It was because people thought he was a funny guy.
That shows how shallow a large proportion of the electorate are.
We get the politicians we deserve.
@@BrokenHill56 chief?
DAILY MAIL MORE LIKE DAILY FAIL.😅😅
Emperor Nero(?), Professor Mary Beard might object?
The party of family values criticising a man who wants to spend time with his family for 3 hours a week. How utterly desperate and pathetic
I mean the party of family values having Johnson, whose family values involve remembering which family he's with that night, as their leader in2019, pretty much already lost their claim to any kind of moral high ground on that front.
It’s a Seder…quite political/religous Jewish. Very ritualistic. 3:42
Ha yeah but to be fair He did employ AND SUPPORT!!! Cummings and he had great family values you know taking his family for Eye tests in Scotland during the lurgi! LOL
@paulhammond6978 is this the same man starmer who does not know what a woman is
Has James O'Brien ever done anything for society?...other than have opinions?
Think of people like me, who ve never voted Tory in my life and yet ive been forcec to live with their cruelty all my life.
Most of mine as well, given I was voting age in '79, and having the scions of Thatcherism all those years!
Oh really. How about the Labour Party in the 70's and the gross unions who would not allow people to be buried. You have led a sheltered life. I have lived a lot under the Labour Party and believe me all those this Tory government is bad, it will be worse under the current leadership who can't even protect young women in toilets or changing rooms.
Same
That's why those who did voted for them who have suffered under them will never do so again.
Think of people like me who had to pay higher taxes after Labour left a note in the Treasury saying "NO MONEY LEFT" it is a farce.
The utter absence of any shame is laughable
Thanks for absolutely destroying The Conservative Party Boris! The ONE decent thing you have done for the UK.
Yet you're voting Labour anyway, I give up.
@@Dynasty1818 how do you know who I’m voting for?
Labour take over on Friday 🎉 tories won't even be the opposition party happy day's
@@LarrySlazenger7 Asking the man who has wiped out their own party for 'campaign help' is comedy gold.
Chanting 'Boris, Boris' like it's some weird cult. Just completely embarrassing.
Was only bout half a dozen shouting and they were party workers. Nobody was impressed.He looked a burst mattress, the human haystack..
It's like watching MAGA Americans.
Just like the crazy maga cult in the US.
you can lose the "like" from that first sentence
That's like trump worshippers
One of the reasons we are in this mess, and they wheel him out like some kind of saviour! It beggars belief.
Many true blue Tories, would still vote for Johnson, as if he has done nothing wrong.
Too true
The fact there were people laughing and applauding says something very sad about the state of political awareness in the UK.
Indeed, however American politics is in an even dire state. At least we have an independent Supreme Court.
I wouldn’t worry too much, you’ll always be able to find/pay 30 people to stand behind anyone and clap
An independent Supreme Court @@oldgreybeard2507? The very John Roberts Court that said Donald Trump as the American President has absolute immunity for acts the office deems official? America is now a monarchy.
Why not wheel him into Clacton?
@@oldgreybeard2507the west has fallen.
The arrogance, the sheer contempt these appalling politicians have is off the scale
Great to bring in Johnson, it shows those still falling for Sunak's "I've only been PM for 18 months " bs, that our problems have been going on for over 14 years under the train wreck that is this government.
Solid point.
Everyone else invested in growth plans to get over the banking crisis.
We had the Tories who chose to cut spending instead.
And as they left us £2.7tn in debt , the markets won’t let us borrow now to recover.,
A government that he was a big part of.
I assume you meant privatised train wreck? 😁
They are scraping the bottom of the sewer.
Or as it's now known......a river. 😉
Yes they want us to think it still a river for others no British our rivers and streams are full of sewerage.
Boris was the beginning of the end for the Conservative Party.
And the country
Thought that was Cameron who initiated the great decline
No…it was Cameron.
Kind of, in that the beginning of the end of the current batch of Cons is because they felt that they had to claim Brexit from Farage's lot who were draining their votes). And one of the architects of Brexit was Boris and his endless stream of "bendy bananas" nonsense articles about the EU.
@@abbofun9022think you’ll find it was the bstard thatcher
He will only make things worse as he will remind everyone of partygate
Let's hope so.
😂😂.. This just proves how desperate the Tories are to muster up some votes..
His appearance proves that they believe we are thick. They think that by bringing a man who left Downing Street in disgrace to the campaign will win voters. It won't. People are fed up of him and all who enabled him.
People are thick though so not wrong there
There in a bad way having him a proven liar to help them.
It says a lot about the population of the country that the Tories get Boris Johnson out to 'help' them.
When the truth is so bad a liar is their best and only option.
"The love child of Les Patterson and Father Jack", brilliant. I just thought he's balding rapidly.
Henry VIII even exploded aboard his hearse.
That would be an ecumenical matter.
This is about the future of our country, Vote!!!!!!
So things will be worse under Labour with higher taxes.
@@Dynasty1818yet we are being taxed more than ever under the the tories now lol.
That’s why I’m definitely Voting reform UK 🇬🇧 I’ve been to many circuses in my time and I couldn’t stop laughing 😂
@@paulayling5092 Split vote, doesn't help anybody, may as well not bother they will probably get less than 30 seats.
Worse? How could it be worse? @@Dynasty1818
Never forget that Borisonaro gets all the perks of being a former PM as well as Truss and Sunak if Labour win on Friday. Absolutely insane 🤷🏻
Totally agree with James. GET OUT THERE AND VOTE! GET RID OF THE TORIES POWER!
Bringing back the Eaton mess was a act of desperation.
THIS party wants to question Starmers work ethic.Boris Jonhnson, as PM skipped COBRA meetings (at Chequers) to finish writing a book, that a publisher had paid him, advances for!
Also worth mentioning Dominic Raab refusing to cut his holiday short until he was forced to while Kabul fell. Johnson also holidayed more frequently than any PM I've ever known.
"Plummy voiced Worzel Gummidge" priceless
And he hasn’t got a thinking head
Johnson warns about Labour and Putin. What a joke. Shall we talk about Lebedev, the Lords and that Italian villa? Where is that Russian report too?????
Sunak ordered the Honey Monster, but he ordered from Temu.
The bottom of the barrel has been well and truly scraped, scrubbed, and jet washed, and this is what trickled out...
Totally agree.
The UK will never be able to return to sanity without a reckoning: the realization that you have and always have had the worst press, the most arrogant, openly lying and manipulative journalists, who at the same time are and have always been the most influential in history. And yes, a sober comparison includes the Völkischer Beobachter in that equation.
Dead right
O’Brian included!
@@lynnevenables7193 if you're gonna go that route, at least get the name right troll
As an Englishman, it disappoints me that I have to agree with this statement....
I thought Boris looked like Marleys ghost, then I heard "Les Patterson and Father Jacks love child" 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
That made me laugh out loud! He's an utter buffoon of the highest order, how on earth did he make Prime Minister!!!
just brilliant, that picture Of Johnson will make me laugh today tomorrow and into the future
@@johnsunderland4197 Through being "that funny guy off the telly" and "relatable".

We're watching the end of the Tory party.
One can only hope....
Hope so
They said the same about Trump.
@@charisma-hornum-frieswe aren’t yanks …..

Wheeling out Boris just reminds everyone of partygate. And the rage aimed at the Tories builds. This is not the winner Tories think it is.
The tories are all but dead.
I'll get the shovel.
@@uniquerebeljaney3639a large pit will do
😂
So you're saying there's more work to be done?
@@TehDawg If you follow American politics, Kirsti Noem has a gravel pit she'd not using.
Why does James keep saying that the Tories finally got tired of Johnson's shenanigans? They didn't - they just realised the public had finally had enough of it.
Bojo’s legacy is how not to be a PM! He won the peoples trust and rammed it down the toilet!
43% of the voters.
Allegedly he acted and looked like a bad joke😮 couldn't even comb his own. hair?
I never trusted him!
Gullible people’s trust…
It seems to have been a protest vote according to MATTHEW GOODWIN.
GB News are losing themselves over the appearance of Boris Johnson. The utter glee is truly pathetic
I believe Boris said something about Labour destoying all that the Conservatives have achieved. Well lets just hope so!
Bojo the man, the legend, the circle is now complete! Bring on tomorrow, get the goons out!
Looks like he gets ready in a wind tunnel
😂😂😂@@Deano-vl4bv
Like his appearance, it’s very disheveled
As usual! No change in his character at all, sometimes you CAN judge a (badly written) book by its cover!
They don't call him the Eaton mess for nothing.
Labour voters are so vicious in their comments. My money is on the pollsters being wrong yet again.
@@pip1723 true! 🤣
Looked like a Morlock.
Wheeling out Boris is akin to hiring Gary Glitter for a kids party
Do you wanna be in my gang…wink wink..
@@johnrussell3961 lol no right minded person wants to be in their gang presently ...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
As if Boris Johnson is going to convince people to vote Conservative. Odd
There are plenty of tory voters saying they should never have got rid of Boris. They don't seem to mind being had over.
@@martinmurphy9679 thats true
Johnson is totally contemptible. The lowest point in our history was when he was PM. I'm an expat living in France and I can't tell you the shame I felt when I was asked why he was PM. I've been waiting for the Tories to be booted out so that I can return home. I couldn't bring myself to do it whilst they were in power.
the word is immigrant. not expat
@@ChryskylodonInstitute Yes and no. The word expat has connotations of someone who is temporarily living in another country , whilst the term immigrant is normally assigned to people who have relocated permanently. I fall into the first camp, but you can call me whatever you want. I know what I am.
The CONservatives and Boris represent exactly what we are voting against, oh dear😂
They do indeed represent almost everything I despise!!
So I’m still confused, who should we vote for.
@@lynnevenables7193😂😂😂
@@lynnevenables7193 Just avoid the Tories and the Russia-backed Reform, and you can't really go wrong.
@@lynnevenables7193 It’s your choice, why ask us to tell you😂
The tories sinking so low as to pull their Johnson out on stage.
It really is a huge indicator of how much the press are in the pocket of desperate Tories, that they’re frantically slinging mud up to the last minute.
A last desperate attempt to cling onto power.
Boris Johnson's legacy is single handedly bringing to an end 500 years of Eton rule.
If only
The Tory government..will never get my vote again..
They'll never get mine either
I wonder how much he charged to appear? I bet he demanded payment in advance.
There's a field missing a scarecrow somewhere.
Harvest is nearly upon us here in East Yorkshire.....where has my scarecrow gone?
👍
Now now. Let's not be insulting scarecrows.
Les Patterson and Fr. Jack's love child 😂😂😂 seriously tho' it shows what contempt they have for the electorate.
"The love child of Sir Les Patterson and Father Jack". That cracked me up.
It’s only dire for the Tory party..
Too little,too late.Bojo can't save the Tories from annihilation .
Because james there is nothing else left .
You're right. Only thing left to do is VOTE REFORM
@@SmilingAnglerfish-oj9id Some people thought that way in 1930s Germany and look where that got them
@@keithewright this isn't Germany this is England

The Tories have been such a success for the average U.K. voter, there are around 1,350 McDonald’s outlets in the UK compared with over 2,500 food banks.
Can’t wait for Friday morning.
Sociapaths and hooligans,a beautiful quote james👍👍,vote labour
Was bringing Boris out an idea from Starmers Campaign Team to give Labour an even bigger SuperMajority?
😂
If you think things are effed up in UK politics, just watch the latest US Presidential debate. Be grateful the major party leaders aren't all gaga. Across the pond, we are faced with unacceptable choices.
Well its democracy or bust. Tough choice......
All the more scary after the SCOTUS decision the other day.
There’s only one US choice. 💙💙💙
It's not unacceptable. You don't vote Democrat and you get a tyrant (Trump has said as much himself), and you will never vote again. Besides, Biden isn't perfect, but he's done well with the hand he was dealt.
"Plummy voiced Worzel Gummidge? Absolute classic!
Imagine facing an enemy , when all is lost and boris is brought onto the field to save us . The enemy would probably die laughing
Boris Johnson as the lovechild of Sir Les Patterson and Father Jack! How very apt. James - you have brightened up my day no end. 👍😆
sunak putting letters out to business saying dont vote labour because they will ruin economy sending those letters out on Wednesday so so desperate little man he is
I heard they are exhuming Maggie tonight.
Yes that was what I was thinking....I thought they'd be showing video recordings of Thatchers speeches.
Vote for CHANGE.
She would still look smarter than Bojo.
They're even lying to themselves now.
Boris proves you can fool some of the people all of the time.
“A plumbey-voiced Worzel Gummidge.” That descriptor of Johnson made my week! And you thought of that on the hoof, too.
You are a genius of the English language, James!! 😂😂😂
Has everyone had their postal vote paperwork? Why is no one talking about this?
Exactly
Had mine over a week ago and it went back the next day. Not going to say where my X was placed but it wasn't for the Tory candidate.
No. 10 clears out the fridge ahead of the election and bag of garbage appears at Tory event.
Was hoping for a laughable and embarrassing campaign from the Tories and they sure delivered with a cherry on top getting BoJo in at the very end 🤣😂🍿😁
Desperate as fk 😅
Client journalists panicking as their client spontaneously explodes.
One more night then they're gone....
Bereft of any genuine sincerity
Controversial take here...
If Cigars and Cigarettes were still fashionable, Boris would be just a spangly jacket away from being a Jimmy Saville look alike.
desperate.
The Tory crypt keepers have been very busy this week.
HOW MUCH DID HIS HYPOCRITES PAY HIM
Its STARMERGEDDON for the Tories
Tucker Carlson hates mainstream journalists. Boris writes about Tucker disparaging him. So Tucker phoned him and asked him on his talk show so they could discuss their differences. Boris agreed if he was paid £1m. Tucker was astonished and declined.
Let’s hope the experience with Johnson has made everyone see how important it is to see beyond energy and entertainment and bluster and sound bites and how dangerous people like him can be.
Any straight thinking voter has abandoned the tories long ago and won't be coming back anyway, The only wavering voters are people who might be tempted back from La Fromage by the appearance of the mop haired crusader. It's worth a punt I guess
In case anyone was wondering, Reform UK candidate Darren Ingrouille referred to people with Autism as “vegetables”.
Johnson looks like jimmy Saville if he hadn’t done marathons
He-he. They have literally scrapped THROUGH the bottom of the barrel, and STILL digging!!!
And they've made it down to the sewer. No. Correction. It's a river culvert full of **it provided by the water company. They've created a perpetual motion machine.
Rishi has Neville Chamberlain on tap if Boris doesn't shift enough votes
The pond has been drained.😂
Times Radio. Boris makes heroic return, what a joke 😂
It’s almost become the Monty Python Show.
I heard they had Liz Truss doing the raffle 😂
Hilarious! Wheeling out Worzel Gummidge for the series finale of the Tories 🤣😂
For once I agree with James. A plummy voiced Worzel Gumidge 😂😂😂😂
Johnson return, like a former star of the show appearing for a Christmas special 😂
if they're not dealt a blow that makes them non-existent, the lack of lessons learnt on their chaos + incompetence will have them scrambling to take the labour party out with those old habits, and we can watch both major parties risking an even bigger collapse years down the line. they'll not want their past record highlighted with corrections to them from labour.
Starmer must have roared with delight when he heard they were wheeling out Doris - something of an own goal of the highest order
Plummy voiced worzel gummidge is the best description ive heard of Boris Johnson EVER! 😂
Yeah, I laughed when I heard that.😂
Can somebody explain to me why you don't have mandatory voting for everyone over 18, and why your election is on a fkn Thursday when everyone is at work?!
Because the polling station is open from early in the morning and late at night so you can vote. Forcing people to vote only results in spoilt ballot papers.
@@user-mv3ee8ty9fno lol, forcing people to vote ensures everyone has a voice. It ensures a party can't cry "rigged". It ensures that candidates don't win due to a minority vote.
Also, your explanation made no sense for a weekday vote.
Do you not see that not only will fewer people turn out due to no mandatory voting, but even fewer will turn out due to it being a weekday?
surely you can't be that blind and naive?
7am to 10pm.
Because in the olden days shops closed Thursday afternoons
The US have elections on a Tuesday, when everyone is at work.
They weren't speaking to anyone who listens to reason. He was there to animate tories who are wavering on non voting or reform voting.
Johnson looking like 'the love child of Les Patterson and Father Jack'...priceless.
Cons think tank: Look, the plebs are fkin thick. I know... let's replace a psychopath with a sociopath. Bravo!!
Boris Johnson awful blathering entitled incompetent lying ....... ? Fill in your own word !!!1
