    Probably wandered off fwoff-woffing about illiberal voter id restrictions, the twat.

    Conversation probably went something like this:

    “Name please.”
    “Boris Johnson.”
    “May I see your ID please?”
    “I don’t have one with me. Don’t you know who I am?”
    “Yes,but you aren’t going to vote without photo ID. Next.”

  3. I rather suspect it was deliberate. He does have a “Loveable bumbling buffoon” act to keep up after all.

    He’ll have done that deliberately to make the day about him.

    Even Boris couldn’t bear vote for the Tory candidate so he went for the plausible deniability option and “accidentally” left his ID at home

    It’s funny because Boris Johnson isn’t even the name his photo ID would say.

  7. > In 2021, the then prime minister and Tory leader said: “What we want to do is protect democracy, the transparency and the integrity of the electoral process. And I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask first-time voters to produce some evidence of identity.”

    Poor guy as he is hoisted by his own petard…
