Had anyone come out of a campaign coma and watched the election on TV for the first time they would've witnessed a leader with authority and passion. And he wasn't Boris Johnson.

This was Jeremy Corbyn's best performance of the election, a Left-wing politician with ambition for our country against a Right-whinger ambitious only for himself.

We repeatedly saw a Labour leader with a plan to rebuild Britain land punches on a selfish Tory pathological liar.

We'll know next Friday morning what the nation decides but if there's any justice we'd wake to Corbyn in No 10.

He put in a good shift in the final head-to-head with the blue blustering bumbler, Johnson a fork-tongued incompetent charlatan with his “One Nation Tory” pitch as hollow as his “Get Britain Done” moronic mantra.

Corbyn both looked and sounded more relaxed than during the first bout a fortnight ago with Labour strategists desperately hoping voters will prefer his inclusive decency to another dose of Johnson's life-sapping Tory austerity.

Kudos to Corbyn for hammering Johnson and the Conservatives' abysmal record over the past nine years on health, nursing, social care, police cuts and probation privatisation.

Kudos too for stating there's no conflict between protecting us against terrorists, murderers and rapists and respecting our human rights.

Treating Johnson with contempt, particularly over the NHS and Brexit and his racism, cut the 16-stone Tory down to size including a dig at his £350m untrustworthiness.

This campaign's demonstrated beyond doubt that Johnson's a cowardly liar.

He's run away from TV grillers Andrew Neil and Julie Etchingham, scrapped a press conference when questioned about his NHS lies and banned the Daily Mirror from the Tory fib bus.

Johnson had nowhere left to hide, put on the spot for 60 minutes.

It was Corbyn who came across as the more Prime Ministerial.
