Boris Johnson’s copycat campaign video

Is Boris Johnson’s campaign keeping a close eye on Jeremy Hunt’s? Three days ago the current Foreign Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, launched his campaign to become leader of the Conservative party in the decadent surroundings of Carlton Gardens, near his grace-and-favour home. Two days later his predecessor, Boris Johnson, kicked off his own campaign and chose to launch in the very same building. Coincidence? Possibly, but now it appears that Boris’ campaign has taken another leaf out of Jeremy Hunt’s book. In his latest campaign video, Boris sets out his achievements as London mayor to a backdrop of swelling violins as an orchestra crescendos, before finally cutting back to a shot of Boris Johnson.

As Mayor of London, we kept our promises and delivered for everyone. We cut crime, cut taxes, invested in infrastructure, expanded the Living Wage, improved air quality, and built more affordable housing.
