Don’t feel sorry for that mutton-headed old mugwump Jeremy Corbyn – he poses an enormous threat to our country if he gets into No10
Boris Johnson
Foreign Secretary
BORIS Johnson today urges voters not to feel sorry for “mutton-headed old mugwump” Jeremy Corbyn — because the Labour leader poses an extreme danger to the country.
Mr Johnson insists Mr Corbyn’s ardent anti-military stances actually mean “the consequences would be calamitous” if he ever gets the keys to No10.

THE biggest risk with Jeremy Corbyn is that people just don’t get what a threat he really is.
They look at him floundering away in the Commons and they say to themselves: Nah - that guy? PM? That’s never going to happen.

They watch his meandering and nonsensical questions and they feel a terrible twinge of human compassion.
Well, they say to themselves: he may be a mutton-headed old mugwump, but he is probably harmless.
Do you have those feelings? Have you ever thought the leader of the Opposition is an essentially benign Islingtonian herbivore?

Have you felt a pang of sympathy for his plight? If so, fight it.
The simple fact is that on June 8 there can be only two Prime Ministers: Jeremy Corbyn or Theresa May.
It is absolutely vital for Britain’s security that we have the strong, stable and decisive leadership of Theresa May.
Look at the world today, and the problems Britain is grappling with.
What would Corbyn do? He has campaigned against Nato for most of his life, and has even said he would like to scrap our armed forces.

Just when Kim Jong-Un is on the verge of acquiring a really deadly nuclear weapon, Britain could be on the verge of acquiring Jeremy Corbyn as PM - a man whose brilliant idea of a nuclear deterrent is that we should send our nuclear subs to sea with no nuclear missiles aboard.
Above all, he would be disastrous for this country’s all-important Brexit talks. I have followed the Brexit question pretty closely, but I cannot make head or tail of Labour’s policy.
Do they want to be in or out of the EU? In the customs union but out of the single market?
In-out, in-out, shake it all about.
This isn’t the hokey cokey. Corbyn’s approach would be a recipe for paralysis and uncertainty - and for Britain to get totally stiffed in the negotiations.
We need Theresa May to get on now - without threats of obstruction from Labour, Lib Dems and the SNP- to deliver those freedoms the people voted for last year: the right to control our laws, our borders, and huge sums of money.
It cannot be allowed to happen. The consequences would be calamitous.
