Boris Johnson’s five worst moments at the Liaison Committee

It’s not been a good day for Boris Johnson. More than 50 Tory MPs have publicly called for him to go, he’s lost 30 members of his payroll vote and he got embarrassed by Sir Keir Starmer at PMQs in a performance which, shockingly, left the House demanding MORE of the staid Labour leader. This evening he is set to meet a delegation of senior Cabinet ministers who want him to quit. Among them is Nadhim Zahawi who, less than 24 hours after professing faith in the PM’s leadership now, er, finds that post-promotion he’s lost it.

But probably the most humiliating moment was Johnson’s two hour grilling by some of his most hated Tory foes at the Liaison Committee including Tobias Ellwood, Caroline Nokes and William Wragg. There was an air of unreality to proceedings this afternoon as the embattled premier was asked about a range of issues for which Boris Johnson might, er, not be responsible for too much longer.
