Boris Johnson will become the prime minister tomorrow. With the mandate of just 92,153 Conservative Party members, Johnson is now officially the unelected leader of the UK.

But in two tweets, Jeremy Corbyn pulled no punches in saying why a Johnson premiership is so damaging and setting out exactly what should happen next.

“He hasn’t won the support of our country”

Corbyn highlighted some of the dangerous pledges Johnson has made. These include pulling out of the EU with no deal, and tax cuts for the rich:

Boris Johnson has won the support of fewer than 100,000 unrepresentative Conservative Party members by promising tax cuts for the richest, presenting himself as the bankers' friend, and pushing for a damaging No Deal Brexit.

But he hasn't won the support of our country.

— Jeremy Corbyn (@jeremycorbyn) July 23, 2019

Johnson has promised to leave the EU on 31 October “come what may”. And Johnson has threatened to bypass parliament to force a no-deal through.

Meanwhile, Johnson has vowed to cut taxes for the wealthy. According to the Institute for Fiscal Studies, this would cost £9bn and benefit the 10% of the wealthiest people in the UK.

The people must decide

Corbyn also set out what a no-deal Brexit could mean for the UK. And he was clear what needs to happen next, stating:

The people of our country should decide who becomes the Prime Minister in a General Election.

Johnson’s No Deal Brexit would mean job cuts, higher prices in the shops, and risk our NHS being sold off to US corporations in a sweetheart deal with Donald Trump.

The people of our country should decide who becomes the Prime Minister in a General Election.

— Jeremy Corbyn (@jeremycorbyn) July 23, 2019

Corbyn is right. A Johnson premiership is a dangerous proposition for the country, benefitting the rich while the rest of us are plunged into the black hole of a no-deal Brexit.

In a supposed democracy, an unelected leader must not be allowed to do this. We need a general election. Now.
