Boris is back: Ex-PM takes on Labour and Farage's Reform with taxes, 'wokery' and illegal immigration warning

Transcript

00:00Three words a lot of the UK probably don't want to hear.

00:03Boris is back.

00:04The former PM has resurfaced and stepped into the election battle

00:07in a desperate attempt to stop Tory voters deserting the party.

00:10He's been writing letters and doing campaign videos for some candidates,

00:13including in the so-called Red Wall.

00:15Boris Johnson here urging everybody in Normanton and Hemsworth

00:19to vote for Alice Hopkins, your MP, on July the 4th.

00:23We'll avoid handing Labour a majority,

00:26or in fact even a super majority, to take this country backwards,

00:30higher taxes, more wokery, kowtowing to Brussels again,

00:35and of course more illegal immigration.

00:38Boris Johnson's intervention comes as recent polls indicate that

00:41significant numbers of Conservative voters are abandoning the party

00:44in favour of Nigel Farage's Reform UK.

00:47This could cost Rishi Sunak's party dozens of seats

00:50and work heavily in Labour's favour.

00:51Boris is back and this video is very much aimed at the Red Wall seats

00:57in the North and Midlands, which the Conservatives won in 2019.

01:02It's almost as if Boris is trying to protect his legacy

01:06to show that the Conservatives can still win in these Brexit seats.

01:10Boris is normally good news for the Conservatives because he can cut through.

01:14And one of the problems that the Tories have at the moment,

01:17possibly, is that people just aren't listening to them.

01:20So people do listen to Boris, he always causes a stir,

01:24and certainly in some constituencies he could push up their vote.
