I see he's finally been allowed to enter the general election fray, this is his contribution:
“Jeremy Corbyn is a benign herbivore” and a “mutton-headed mugwump”
Johnson is the archetypal Hooray Henry, Old Etonian playground bully.
He's supposed to be our Foreign Secretary, for christ's sake. Also, he was rude and incoherent when interviewed on Radio 4 this morning. Typical nasty, abusive, name-calling Tory. |  | | |  |

He acts like a school boy. He should be nowhere near a position of power. |  |

His barbs at Corbyn are akin to savaging a dead sheep, as Dennis Healy might have put it. |  |

Bigot is a somewhat more accepted English word than mugwump. |  | | |

Blimey, there's whataboutery and then there's going back 7 years to an off the cuff remark made by someone who is no longer involved in politics whataboutery. | | | |

boris is playing to existing perceptions. he can't say 'Islington vegetarian' because vegetarians will get arsey - but 'herbivore' points at the same thing. equally he is going for an ovine image - something slow witted and dull - which he hits again with 'old muttonhead'. he is also, as someone else pointed out, going for the classic 'dead sheep' analogy.
don't under-estimate boris. he is popular. lots of people like his style. and with 'benign Islington herbivore' and 'mutton-headed old mugwump' he has come up with an image which resonates with many people's own perception and will probably be the thing that sticks with people longest during the election campaign.

lots of people like him. consistently until 2016 polled as Britain's most popular politician. londoners voted for him to be mayor. it's not complicated.

You do know what those two words mean don't you?
Being called a Bigot is much more insulting. |  |

Perhaps you could enlighten me as to the minimum number of contributions required before people like yourself deign someone's views to be acceptable?
Thanks. | | | |

He's the star turn at conference too. Well, after the PM probably, but it's close. But he was star turn even before he was in the cabinet and that's some feat. |  |
