Commenting on Boris Johnson’s 2005 comments about the poorest and most vulnerable in our society, Liberal Democrat Shadow Equalities Spokesperson, Christine Jardine, said:

The mask has slipped once again, showing that Boris Johnson despises the poor and vulnerable in our society.

Time and again Johnson has made prejudiced and offensive remarks about those less privileged than him to further his own political career.

These comments show he is simply not fit to be the Prime Minister of our great country.

Only the Liberal Democrats have a viable plan to support the most vulnerable in our society.
