Boris slams Oppn for blocking polls

Calls Labour leader Corbyn a ‘chicken’ for backtracking on snap elections slated for Oct 15

- Daily Mail

BORIS Johnson blasted ‘dithering’ Jeremy Corbyn for plotting a ‘surrender’ to the EU on Wednesday as the Labour leader prepares to block his demand for a snap election.

Taking his first PMQs, a furious Mr Johnson branded Mr Corbyn a ‘chlorinated chicken’ for refusing to agree to a poll on October 15 and said he ‘used to be a democrat’.

Channelling Margaret Thatcher’s famous taunt to opponents, Mr Johnson said: “Is he frit?”

At one point the premier also turned the air blue in the chamber by claiming the Opposition’s economic strategy was ‘sh** or bust’.

Meanwhile, the Labour leader was jeered by Tory MPs as he accused the PM of trying to ‘avoid scrutiny’.
