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.
  • 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.
  • One of the reasons we are in this mess, and they wheel him out like some kind of saviour! It beggars belief.
  • 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
  • @1porter
    Chanting 'Boris, Boris' like it's some weird cult. Just completely embarrassing.
  • @Rosbif06600
    The fact there were people laughing and applauding says something very sad about the state of political awareness in the UK.
  • @NinjaVestos
    He will only make things worse as he will remind everyone of partygate
  • @sv9950
    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.
  • @Gazdavies48
    The arrogance, the sheer contempt these appalling politicians have is off the scale
  • @authunhx3129
    "The love child of Les Patterson and Father Jack", brilliant. I just thought he's balding rapidly.
  • Boris was the beginning of the end for the Conservative Party.
  • 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.
  • I thought Boris looked like Marleys ghost, then I heard "Les Patterson and Father Jacks love child" 😂
  • Totally agree with James. GET OUT THERE AND VOTE! GET RID OF THE TORIES POWER!
