Anti-Brexit campaigners Led by Donkeys are putting up a series of posters across the UK this week showing the ‘rich treasure trove’ of embarrassing material on Boris Johnson.

Group member Ben Stewart wouldn’t give too much away but said they would bring the Conservative Party leadership contender’s ‘hypocrisy’ into the spotlight.

Mr Stewart slammed the ‘undemocratic nature of this Boris Johnson coronation’ as the would-be Prime Minister remains the bookies’ favourite.

He told Metro.co.uk: ‘There’s a rich treasure trove of material on that guy – previous quotes and stunning contradictions’.


When asked what he thought a Britain run by Mr Johnson might look like, Mr Stewart said: ‘I personally don’t think it’s going to be as bad as Trump but it’s not wholly dissimilar from that.’

He added: ‘I think the public have got a pretty good sense of when they’re being confronted by a bulls****** frankly.



‘We’re a really sensible bunch in Britain most of the time and I think most people know the guy’s one.’

Mr Johnson has been accused of hypocrisy over an article he wrote for the Telegraph in 2007 criticising Gordon Brown for becoming Prime Minister without a general election.

The would-be Prime Minister wrote: ‘It’s the arrogance. It’s the contempt. That’s what gets me.

‘It’s Gordon Brown’s apparent belief that he can just trample on the democratic will of the British people.’

The news comes after Led by Donkeys put 10 posters up across the country today pointing out that only 0.3 per cent of the UK population – the Tory Party membership – will get to choose our next Prime Minister.

A wide range of emojis are used to depict the UK population’s rich and diverse background next to an emoji of an old white man – representing the 0.3 per cent of the population in the Tory party.

Mr Stewart said: ‘We’ve used emojis because you can really symbolise the diversity of Britain through that.’

But he argues they don’t get much of a say in the future of the country as it approaches the historic juncture of leaving the European Union.

This is because voters in the UK only get a say in the country’s governing party – not the person in charge of it – and there are no rules requiring a fresh general election if someone else takes the reins.

Mr Stewart added: ‘Really there should be – and this goes for Labour and the Conservatives – there really should be a law that if you want to change course half way through the race then you need to come to us, the voters.’

The said the mostly white, older and male Tory membership will have the final say over who guides the country into an uncertain post-Brexit era.

Mr Johnson may be the bookmaker’s favourite to win, but his popularity has suffered a blow over headlines about police being called to his home on Friday during a blazing row with partner Carrie Symonds.

He also refused 26 times on LBC this morning to answer a question on whether a recent picture of him together with Ms Symonds was ‘staged’.

Led by Donkeys have been busy lately, having written the Brexit Party’s manifesto for them on a series of billboards.



They’ve also taken prominent Brexiteers to task over previous quote and promises and have tried to clarify Jeremy Corbyn’s stance on Britain’s relationship with the EU.

The group also divided opinion with a poster calling out Brexit Party MEP on the time she said ‘homosexual acts are wrongful’.
