The outgoing PM was described as having the “morals of a polecat” and was accused of wrecking the reputation of the Tories
Boris Johnson may have resigned, but he continues to be the target of vitriol among members of the public.
The outgoing Prime Minister was ruthlessly trolled on BBC’s Question Time last night, with one audience member describing him as having the “morals of a polecat”.
This week’s show was broadcast from Barnsley, with Fiona Bruce presiding over the panel which included Conservative MP for Bishop Auckland Dehenna Davison, Labour’s Shadow Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson, Daily Telegraph columnist Tim Stanley, former press secretary to Tony Blair Alistair Campbell and musician Winston Marshall.
One audience member hit out at Stanley over comments he made about the Partygate fiasco.
She said: “What you said about ‘all he did was eat cake’, that’s not true for many people who I know who watched friends and family in hospital and weren’t allowed to say goodbye to them.
“A very close friend of mine, her grandma died in hospital and she wasn’t allowed to go and visit her.
“How can you trivialise that and say all he did was eat cake?
“He completely wrecked the reputation of the Tory party in my eyes because it was one rule for them and another for everyone else.”
Another man chimed in with his views on the Prime Minister, admitting his views on Mr Johnson “had not really changed”.
He said: “I see him as being a despicable, toxic, manipulative liar with all the morals of a polecat.
“My fear is that we are now having a leadership election amongst the Tories, I think we will end up with a different jockey riding the same old dead horse.
